While the Enlightenment brought about an unprecedented growth in freedom, it also gave rise to a set of dichotomies that Hegel's philosophy helps to overcome. In this book, Timothy C. Luther examines Hegel's contribution to polical philosophy and his attempt to resolve tensions in political philosophy and democracy_particularly, his reconciliation of individual liberty and community. Hegel's dialectic preserves what he sees as valuable in liberalism while reformulating it in a way that is more sensitive to community and historical context.

Rezensionen
This is a very thorough, substantive, and readable discussion of the issue of individual freedom and the community in Hegel's thought. It is centered on his Philosophy of Right, but in the double context of his philosophy of history and the post-Hegelian history of European modernity.

Min, Claremont Graduate University It is a sign of [Luther's] achievement that he is able to provide clear explanations of the dialectic and ofGeist; ...Luther has done us a great service by indicating the pressing need to think about the tension between the individual good and the common good, especially in light of our current economic woes. He has drawn up a detailed map of the Hegelian territory and marked the locations of buried treasure. We should be grateful for his exegetical and philosophic labors. Perspectives on Politics Luther provides a thoroughly clear presentation of Hegel?s political philosophy. But more importantly, through the use of concrete examples, he demonstrates connections between Hegel?s philosophy and contemporary political issues. The result is that Luther makes Hegel much more accessible to undergraduate students, an impressive achievement given Hegel's notorious reputation. -- Patrick Horn, Claremont Graduate University…mehr
