| Summary: | The Oxford Handbook of Hegel is a comprehensive guide to the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel, the last major thinker in the philosophical movement known as German Idealism. The authors draw out Hegel's debts to his predecessors and highlight the themes and arguments that have proven the most influential over the past two centuries. Hegel's philosophy of law, action, and the ethical and political philosophy presented in his Philosophy of Right are discussed, as well as the many recently edited lecture series from the 1820s, bringing new clarity to Hegel's conception of aesthetics, the philosophy of religion, and the history of philosophy. The concluding part focuses on Hegel's legacy, from his role in the formation of Marx's philosophy to his importance for contemporary liberal political philosophy
