Foundations of Hegel's Social Theory: Actualizing Freedom

Frederick Neuhouser's task is to understand the conceptions of freedom on which Hegel's theory rests and to show how they ground his arguments in defense of the modern social world. In doing so, the author focuses on Hegel's most important and least understood contribution to social philosophy, the idea of "social freedom." The book aims not only to interpret Hegel correctly but also to demonstrate the richness and power that his vision of the rational social order possesses.
