Hegel's Philosophy of Right (1820) presented a revolutionary concept of modern society as a unified whole governed by the principle of freedom, which had a profound impact on political theory and, through Hegel's influence on Marx, significantly transformed the world we inhabit. However, Hegel's thought is notoriously complex, making it challenging to unravel its intricate threads and comprehend his achievements.

In this volume, esteemed political theorists and philosophers engage in a retrospective examination of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, spanning two centuries. Their goal is to shed light on some of its most contentious aspects, providing insights into Hegel's theory of bureaucracy, Marx's critique of that theory, Hegel's alternative to nationalism, his political cosmology, his critique of natural law, his organic conception of the good, and his view of totality. The contributors to this book are Frederick Beiser, Shterna Friedman, Darren Nah, Frederick Neuhouser, Angelica Nuzzo, Alan Patten, Terry Pinkard, Paul Rosenberg, and Jacob Roundtree.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review.
