"While I cannot say that I fully agree with his views on Religion and the State... just look at the nutty things that religious folk believe these days? I do think that his sections on democracy could be construed as somewhat implicitly fascistic. Here we see the birth of the Continental Tradition in many ways. It was not Descartes, or Kant, but Hegel who first truly understood the promise of constructing a World Philosophy from the Enlightened Light on the Hill that was Modern Europe. So many contemporary post-modern philosophers have discredited his work, notably Derrida in Margins of Philosophy turns to one appalling footnote on "History moves progressively from East to West, the further West one goes the closer you get to Absolute Mind...etc." something like that.... come off it already you pinheads. How can you discredit something as beautiful and brilliant as the age-old question of understanding all of human existence. Hegel was really the last philosopher to attempt and possibly succeed at a universal metaphysical project. Bravo! Once more into the breech dear sir. Fight the good fight."
"I read this book for David Schweickart's course on Social and Political Philosophy during the second semester of 1980/1 at Loyola University Chicago. Previously, I'd read Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind and his Logic only. Like the former, unlike the latter, Philosophy of Right is a relatively easy read. Unlike the Phenomenology, it is neither very profound nor challenging, intellectually speaking. It is, however, an important book as regards how it applies the very intriguing thought-forms of the Phenomenology to practical purposes in the real world.
I had appropriated the Phenomenology as a challenge. Kaufmann, in his Hegel, emphasizes how, in Hegel's time, it was possible to be on top of all the disciplines. Thus, a real dialectic of material facts to conceptual models was, at that time, at least plausible. One could appropriate world history personally as if it were a course of study leading ultimately to...the omega point of the Absolute Spirit. Certainly, the prospect of this was alluring in a mystical sort of way, the argument and its exposition pointing like an arrow ahead. Hegel's vision filled me with a sense of rapture.
Philosophy of Right, however, takes the world historical progress of the spirit in one of its aspects to a definitive conclusion and shatters the vision, Hegel becoming an apologist for the status quo and revealing himself, in his later years at least, as a sycophantic toady of his paymaster, the Prussian state.
The applications of Hegelian thinking in actual world politics give one pause. In addition to Hegel's own pathetic, apologetic performance one may adduce both the corporativism of fascistic and Nazi ideologies as well as the millenarian certainties of some "scientific" socialists.
I am decrying neither the vision nor the challenge posed by Hegel's early work, just those persons who believe they have captured the vision and mastered the challenge."
"From this book, i found the Theory of Need. This theory inspires me to explore Need in Law perspective. This is one of the inspiring book for me. Thx for Hegel, the author, wish i had a chance to study about Hegel and his theories."
