Description
Hegel's Practical Philosophy: Rational Agency as Ethical Life
This thought-provoking book offers a fresh and original interpretation of Hegel's practical philosophy, exploring the central questions of freedom and agency in modern accounts.
Robert Pippin argues that the core of Hegel's answers lies in a social theory of agency, which emphasizes the importance of engagement with others for individual self-determination. A detailed analysis of key Hegelian texts reveals the significance of this approach for understanding contemporary issues in politics and ethics.
