This comprehensive collection delves into diverse themes and presents fresh perspectives on Hegel's political philosophy, thereby illuminating what has been one of the most contentious aspects of Hegelian scholarship. Comprising eight essays written by a group of international scholars at various stages of their careers, this volume offers a unique contribution by examining both Hegel's early and mature political thought. It includes a paper on his early essay on "Natural Law," published in two installments in 1802 and 1803, as well as his System of Ethical Life, also published in 1802-1803. Additionally, the volume features papers on Hegel's Philosophy of Right (published in 1821), two papers that discuss "The German Constitution," written between 1798 and 1802, and a concluding essay that provides a comprehensive overview of the volume's findings. As an addition to the ongoing debate sparked by the bicentenary of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, this collection provides valuable insights into Hegel's political philosophy and its enduring relevance.
