Hegel's Practical Philosophy

Beschreibung

Robert Pippin argues that the central questions in Hegel's practical philosophy are the central questions in modern accounts of freedom. Using a detailed analysis of key Hegelian texts, he reveals the bearing of Hegel's claims on many contemporary issues, including much-discussed core problems in the liberal democratic tradition.

Rezensionen

'Reading this book, it is fascinating to see how Hegel`s practical philosophy can even in its speculative elements be translated into a philosophical language used in moral epistemology today. Pippin succeeds in deepening our understanding of practical reason by giving a path-breaking interpretation of the way in which Hegel binds free agency to the social conditions of institutionally grounded practices of the mutual ascription of accountability. I am sure that this book will set a benchmark for all future research on Hegel and practical philosophy.' Axel Honneth, University of Frankfurt
