"Hard to praise highly enough." Terry Pinkard
"Clearly written, well-argued and farseeing reconstruction of what Hegel intended when understanding societal life as objectified spirit. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in finding out why Hegel is of importance for current debates within social, legal, and political philosophy." Axel Honneth
"Kervégans book is a powerful, deeply informed, and compellingly relevant reading of Hegel´s theory of objective spirit." Robert B. Pippin
This book by the French legal philosopher Jean-François Kervégan contains the results of 25 years of research dedicated to the objective spirit in Hegel. Their aim is to understand the meaning of the equation of reality and rationality, which the philosophy of law establishes as its guiding principle. The first part shows that abstract (private) law has a strategic function in the economy of the objective mind and allows Hegel to go beyond the alternative between natural law and history. The second part is devoted to civil society and illuminates the aporia of the social as the negative justification of a political space that is not simply an extension of society. Starting from the silent dialogue between Tocqueville and Hegel on political modernity, the third part examines Hegel's critique of democracy and its conception of representation, which suggests a revision of the paradigm of liberal democracy. The last part shows that the doctrine of the objective mind raises the question of subjectivity in non-subjectivist terms by focusing on the conditions of its institution; as a normative interface between the subject and the institutionalized general of ethics, morality plays an essential role here. The book ends with a reflection on the passion for the concept that drives Hegel's philosophy.
