Summary:

Over the last decade renewed interest in Hegel's thought and its legacy, especially in Anglo-American philosophy, has combined with the publication of new critical editions of his work in German to underline the value of Hegel for contemporary philosophy. Hegel: New Directions takes stock of this re-evaluation and presents an assessment of current thinking on this seminal philosopher. In his volume, leading scholars, who have spearheaded the reappraisal, bring the history of philosophy into dialogue with contemporary philosophical questions. Drawing on a broad range of themes, the essays offer a critical and stimulating guide to Hegel's thought, whilst addressing central questions of recent philosophy in epistemology, ethics, political and social theory, religion, and aesthetics.
