Summary:
This challenging study explores the theme of freedom in the
philosophy of Hegel and Nietzsche. In the first half Will Dudley sets
Hegel's Philosophy of Right within a larger systematic account and
innovatively deploys the Logic to interpret it. The author shows that
freedom involves not only the establishment of certain social and
political institutions but also the practice of philosophy itself. In
the second half, he reveals how Nietzsche's discussions of decadence,
nobility and tragedy map on to an analysis of freedom that critiques
heteronomous choice and Kantian autonomy, and ultimately issues in a
positive conception of liberation. In boldly bringing Hegel and
Nietzsche together into a conversation, something that is rarely
attempted, Will Dudley has developed a set of original
interpretations that will be of considerable importance to students
of these philosophers, and more generally to political theorists and
historians of ideas.
