Hegel's Social Philosophy: The Project of Reconciliation

This book provides an authoritative account of Hegel's social philosophy at a level that presupposes no specialized knowledge of the subject. Hegel's social theory is designed to reconcile the individual with the modern social world. Michael Hardimon explores the concept of reconciliation in detail and discusses Hegel's views on the relationship between individuality and social membership, and on the family, civil society, and the state.
