Reihe: Reader's Guides

comprehensive guide to Hegel's seminal text, the Philosophy of Right

The Philosophy of Right is an immensely important text in Western Political Philosophy and heavily influenced both the left and right - thus it is a text all serious students of political philosophy must engage with

Hegel's writings - both his ideas and his style - are notoriously difficult to understand, so a Guide which makes them accessible will be extremely welcome

Philosophy of Right is studied in both Philosophy and Political Science departments

Continuum's Reader's Guides are clear, concise and accessible introductions to classic works of philosophy. Each book explores the major themes, historical and philosophical context and key passages of a major philosophical text, guiding the reader toward a thorough understanding of often demanding material. Ideal for undergraduate students, the guides provide an essential resource for anyone who needs to get to grips with a philosophical text.
Hegel's Philosophy of Right is a classic text in the history of Western political thought - a text that all serious students of political philosophy must engage with. Hegel's ideas and style are notoriously difficult to understand and while this is a hugely important and exciting piece of philosophical writing, it is also particularly challenging.
In Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right': A Reader's Guide, David Rose explains the philosophical and political background against which the book was written and, taking each part of the book in turn, guides the reader to a clear understanding of the text as a whole. This is the ideal companion to study of this most influential and challenging of texts.
