He is to be congratulated on providing us with a clear and convincing justification of a systematic reading of the \/Philosophy of Right\/.' \/History of Political Thought\/ 'Admirable... [Brooks] establishes conclusively to my mind that Hegel's positions are only fully intelligible within the wider framework of his conception of philosophy.' Michael Rosen, Professor of Government, Harvard University 'A very clear and methodologically self-conscious series of discussions of key topics within Hegel's classic text... what results is a series of illuminating discussions in which [Brooks] makes the case for his own interpretations on the basis of systematic considerations.' Paul Redding, Professor of Philosophy, University of Sydney A new edition of the first systematic reading of Hegel's political philosophy \/Elements of the Philosophy of Right\/ is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important works in the history of political philosophy. This is the first book on the subject to take Hegel's system of speculative philosophy seriously as an important component of any robust understanding of this text. Key Features Sets out the difference between 'systematic' and 'non-systematic' readings of \/Philosophy of Right\/ Outlines the unique structure of Hegel's philosophical arguments Explores key areas of Hegel's political philosophy: system, property, punishment, morality, family, law, monarchy, democracy, war and history This significantly expanded second edition includes two new chapters on Hegel's theories of democracy and history, and a reply to the book's critics.
