Hegel's "Foundations of the Philosophy of Right" from 1820 has been the subject of intense controversy since its publication. Does the work belong to the Restoration or early constitutionalism? Must one read Hegel's liberal tendencies between the lines of a work disguised for censorship? Or are his heirs the left and right totalitarianisms of the last century? The systematic contributions to person and action, freedom and causality, law and ethics, criminal law and international law, or the relationship between market, welfare state, and political culture are of great interest for current debates on these topics. The contributions in this already revised fourth edition of the volume provide the first complete commentary on Hegel's philosophy of law. They combine the interpretation of all important text passages with a selection.
