G.W.F. Hegel: Modernity and Politics

by Fred R. Dallmayr

Dallmayr argues that G W F Hegel is perhaps the leading philosopher of modernity and explores his philosophy as it pertains to the meaning of modernity and its celebration of individual freedom and the importance of a network of social relationships, public justice and civic virtue. This important text explains Hegel′s work in the context of current theoretical and philosophical debates about modernity, illustrating his response to contemporary issues and recognizing him as a major figure in the history of political thought.
