A review of The New Hegelians: Politics and Philosophy in the Hegelian School
Framed by contemporary as well as historical concerns, this collection aims to re-acquaint us with the work of the Left Hegelians. The guiding thought is that we stand to gain by looking afresh at the ideas of the thinkers that make up that collectivity. As Douglas Moggach states in the Introduction, their writings address directly current concerns and offer us the opportunity to form a ‘robust understanding of the modern self and its interactions, which can sustain both freedom and social solidarity’ (Moggach 23).
