This collection of new perspectives on Hegel’s Philosophy of Right breaks down some of the most stubborn barriers between the

book and its readers. From its polemical preface to its closing

ruminations on the state and world history, Hegel’s seminal

text can appear antiquated and conservative to even the most

motivated reader. These essays remove those obstacles by

demonstrating how radical many of his reflections on politics and

ethics remain some 200 years after its publication.

New Perspectives on Hegel’s Philosophy of Right works through

Hegel’s ideas in two distinct stages. Its first half explains how a

close reading of contested sections can reveal new possibilities

for the interpretation of key issues like private property, family,

conscience, patriotism and the executive branch – covering

important topics from each of the three major sections of Hegel’s

text. The book’s second half then considers Hegel’s work in

dialogue with contemporary political thought, legal studies, critical

theory, economic theory and queer studies.

These essays show

the rich interplay of Hegelian concepts and insights with pressing

contemporary concerns, proving their continued relevance.

Maintaining focus on how Hegel’s work speaks to us today, this

book offers readers an invaluable set of launchpoints to explore

his lasting contribution to both the new and perennial concerns of philosophy.
