Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Richard Bourke is a formidably talented political historian. . . .
Hegel’s World Revolutions displays a knowledge of its protagonist’s thought which may well be unequalled in Britain. Its mountain of secondary sources is just as impressive."
---Terry Eagleton, London Review of Books"Few, if any, have got the gist of the
Geist. Until now, that is. In
Hegel’s World Revolutions, Richard Bourke offers a major re-evaluation of not only Hegel’s philosophy of history but also the history of his philosophy. . . .To understand Hegel, you must read Bourke."
---Daniel Johnson, The Critic"[A] breathtaking intellectual
tour de force. . . .A book of such unrelenting intellectual calibre and breadth."
---Jeremy Jennings, Engelsberg Ideas"A masterclass in scholarship."
---Max Skjönsberg, Law & Liberty"
Hegel’s World Revolutions represents arguably the most original contribution to Hegel scholarship in some time. . . .A comprehensive yet succinct and elegant exposition of Hegel’s thought that attests to his great importance as a leading philosopher of modernity."
---Adam Coleman, Oxford Political Review "Bourke’s defence of the German philosopher against a motley crew of post-war cynics and political idealists is historically thorough and philosophically compelling, every sentence of it delivered with a clarity that will make the layman rejoice and the specialist grunt with envy"
---Harrison Pitt, The European Conservative"This study helps readers to appreciate the diagnostic function of the history of political thought and to consider its implications for our own time." * Paradigm Explorer *
