| Summary: | "Why is it so important for Hegel to structure his various philosophical works as developmental narratives? It is argued in this work that his motivation is in large part metaphysical. That is, he intends his developmental accounts to demonstrate that human thinking and willing themselves develop. He seeks to convince us that there have been advances in the nature of human thought or reason and in our resulting freedom, and that those advances are somehow fated or necessary. In addition, Hegel's preoccupation with development conveys his interest in how human reason is anchored in and shaped by its past. A central objective of this book is to specify the extent to which we can accurately attribute to Hegel the view that human reason and the freedom it affords us are indebted for their nature to this temporal order of nature and history"--Publisher's description. |
