Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right' is a classic text in the history of Western political thought - a text that all serious students of political philosophy must engage with. Hegel's ideas and style are notoriously difficult to understand and while this is a hugely important and exciting piece of philosophical writing, it is also particularly challenging.
In 'Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right': A Reader's Guide', David Rose explains the philosophical and political background against which the book was written and, taking each part of the book in turn, guides the reader to a clear understanding of the text as a whole. This is the ideal companion to study of this most influential and challenging of texts.
