In this important new book, David James offers an innovative
interpretation of a key element of Hegel's political thought. James
seeks to identify the basic aims of Hegel's philosophy of right
through an analysis of his approach to subjectivity. He argues that
the basic aim of Hegel's philosophy of right is to accommodate
subjectivity within a framework of universally valid ethical norms and
that an analysis of how Hegel attempts to do this provides a key to
understanding his philosophy of right. This in turn makes possible a
highly unified interpretation of the project that determines the shape
and structure of his theory of modern ethical life. The ways in which
Hegel uses the term subjectivity have never before been analysed in
sufficient detail. James shows that Hegel's understanding of this term
depends very much on the context in which he is using it and by
analysing this carefully shows that this concept is essentially
related to his theory of freedom. This fascinating book offers a
unified interpretation of Hegel's philosophy of right and will make an
important contribution to the study of Hegel's political thought.
