Tristram; Pinkard, T.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eMuch of contemporary philosophy, political theory, and social  thought has been shaped directly or indirectly by Georg Wilhelm  Friedrich Hegel, though there is considerable disagreement about how  his work should be understood. He has been described both as a  metaphysician and characterized as an ironic narrator who anticipated  the character of philosophy after metaphysics. His position is equally  ambiguous with regard to his political thought. He has been construed  both as an enemy of the liberal state and as a friend of freedom.  \u003cbr\u003e  This volume's revisionist reassessment, building on the scholarship of  Klaus Hartmann, explores these ambiguities in favor of a  non-metaphysical reading of Hegel's arguments. It also shows how the  foundations of his political thought support a liberal democratic  state. This reappraisal of Hegel's arguments resituates him as a  philosopher who anticipates the difficulties of post-modernity and  offers a basis for reassessing ontology, aesthetics, and revolution.  Philosophers and those doing work in political theory will find this  volume of great interest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792326298\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8378-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 262\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312106655884,"sku":"9780792326298","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792326298.jpg?v=1771518857","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792326298","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
