Enriched Edition. Hegel's Views on Legal, Moral, Social & Political PhilosophyBy Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HegelLength15h 22m
About this audiobook
In The Philosophy of Right, also known in translation as The Philosophy of Law, Hegel offers one of modern philosophy's most ambitious accounts of freedom as realized through institutions. Moving dialectically from abstract right and morality to ethical life, he examines property, contract, punishment, family, civil society, the state, and world history. Its dense, systematic prose belongs to German Idealism, yet it also intervenes in post-Kantian debates on autonomy, legal authority, and the rational structure of modern social life. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831), shaped by the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the upheavals of Napoleonic Europe, sought to understand history as the unfolding of reason. His work as a university lecturer and public philosopher in Jena, Heidelberg, and Berlin informed his conviction that philosophy must comprehend its own age in thought. This book reflects his mature attempt to reconcile individual liberty with communal and political order. This volume is essential for readers of political theory, jurisprudence, ethics, and intellectual history. Though demanding, it rewards patient study with a profound vision of law not as mere constraint, but as a condition of concrete freedom.
