Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewHegel's Philosophy of Right is widely recognized as one of the most important texts in the history of philosophy. One major problem with most of the current literature is its failure to acknowledge the systematic construction of Hegel's philosophy. The Philosophy of Right is intended to be understood within the context of Hegel's philosophical system. We require a "systematic" reading that interprets Hegel's philosophy as he intended it to be understood. Matthew J. Smetona offers us such an account which advances our knowledge of Hegel's philosophy and its contemporary relevance. Hegel's Logical Comprehension of the Modern State is an important contribution to the systematic reading of Hegel's Philosophy of Right that should benefit students and scholars alike. -- Thom Brooks, Dean of Durham Law School
