Description

Charles Taylor's study of Hegel's social and political thought offers a nuanced exploration of how his ideas remain relevant in modern society.

The prevailing view of Hegel as a proto-fascist is challenged by Taylor, who argues that Hegel sought to balance individual rights with the intrinsic good of community membership. This synthesis of opposing values seems increasingly distant in today's globalised and industrialised world.

A new preface has been commissioned for this edition, providing fresh context for understanding Hegel's ideas in the 21st century.
