Hegel: Selections from his Political Writings (English Edition)

Author: Hegel
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2003-05-01
Features: His major addition to the series of Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought seeks to give students with no specialist knowledge access to both the practical and the metaphysical aspects of Hegel's political thought. The ethical and metaphysical texts in this collection both illuminate and contrast with those political and historical texts in which Hegel draws important conclusions about the modern world from a remarkable comparative analysis of recent developments in England, France, and Germany. The translator of these texts, H.B. Nisbet, was responsible for the acclaimed rendition of Hegel's Philosophy of Right already published in this series, and Laurence Dickey's lucid editorial commentary introduces this distinctive corpus of political writing by one of the very greatest thinkers in European tradition. A full chronology, explanatory annotation, glossary, and bibliography are appended to aid the student reader.
LAURENCE DICKY is Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. H.B. NISBET is Professor of Modern Languages of Cambridge, and a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College.
