200 Jahre Hegels Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts

Hegel's "Foundations of the Philosophy of Right" is one of the most influential philosophical works. Created 200 years ago, it still has the potential to initiate and enrich systematic debates in the fields of action theory, political philosophy, social philosophy, legal philosophy, and legal theory. This volume, contributed to by prominent philosophers and legal scholars, sheds light on both the reception history of the "Foundations" and the relevance of the considerations Hegel develops in this work. Topics discussed by the authors include Hegel's understanding of freedom and law, questions of accountability, evil, and retribution, Hegel's theory of contract law and the welfare state, his reflections on cosmopolitanism and the right to resistance, as well as the relationship between the "Foundations" and Hegel's logic and other scientific disciplines.
