  • More about Reading Hegel

The spirit of Hegel is haunting contemporary thought, with all the powers of academia joining forces to exorcize it. This book addresses pressing issues that a contemporary reading of Hegel allows a new perspective on, such as our relation to the future, nature, and the absolute.

Format: Hardback
Length: 216 pages
Publication date: 17 December 2021
Publisher: Polity Press


The spirit of Hegel continues to haunt contemporary thought, drawing the attention of academia to its influence. A diverse range of academic groups, including Vitalists, Eschatologists, Transcendental Pragmatists, Speculative Realists, Historical Materialists, and even "liberal Hegelians," have united in their efforts to exorcise this spirit. Despite their differences, these groups have all been accused of being metaphysically Hegelian by their opponents. In response, they have retaliated with the charge of Hegelian metaphysics. This condemnation extends to progressives, liberals, and reactionaries alike.

Given this context, it is crucial for genuine Hegelians to openly acknowledge their allegiance and articulate the significance and validity of Hegelianism in the contemporary intellectual landscape. To this end, a group of Hegelians from various nationalities has come together to author a book that addresses a range of pressing issues that a contemporary reading of Hegel offers a fresh perspective on: our relationship with the future, our relationship with nature, and our relationship with the absolute.

The book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of Hegel's ideas and their relevance to contemporary concerns. It seeks to shed light on the complexities of his philosophy and offer insights into how it can be applied to address the challenges we face today. By examining Hegel's ideas on the nature of reality, the dialectic of history, and the role of consciousness, the book aims to provide a deeper understanding of the world and our place in it.

The book will appeal to scholars and students of philosophy, as well as anyone interested in exploring the enduring influence of Hegel's thought on modern intellectual discourse. It will provide a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of Hegel's philosophy and its relevance to contemporary issues.
