Description
This book boldly restores Hegel's rational theism to the center of his thought, thereby bringing Hegel's full originality to bear on contemporary issues in political theory.

Reviews
'Brudner's account is, at once, broad and deep. The book is clear, engaging, erudite, and deeply intelligent. I believe that it will become widely recognized as a first-rate, original, and important contribution to our understanding of Hegel's political thought.' Peter Steinberger, Robert H. and Blanche Day Ellis Professor of Political Science and Humanities, Reed College, Oregon
'[Brudner's] readers now have the opportunity to study in detail the interpretation of Hegel that lies behind [his] more narrowly jurisprudential works. They will discover the mature fruits of a lifetime of scholarly reflection, establishing Brudner as a courageous and unique voice in the very large literature on Hegel's political philosophy.' N. E. Simmonds, The Cambridge Law Journal
