Abstract:
"Hegel's Philosophy of Right is recognized as one of the great works of political philosophy. His place in the history of ideas is significant and he can be seen as a precursor of Marx, a critic of Kant, and the target of anti-Enlightenment irrationalism. Until now there has never been a secondary text that deals solely with this influential work and Dudley Knowles's careful exposition will be a welcome aid to anyone studying the Philosophy of Right, or indeed Hegel's wider writings." "This book contains broad discussions of such topics as persons and rights, property, punishment, moral psychology, civil society, freedom and war. Knowles also reviews the background to the Philosophy of Right and explains the key concepts of Hegel's thought."--BOOK JACKET.
