W. F. Hegel's political thought. Elias Buchetmann traces this much-neglected aspect in unprecedented contextual detail and makes the case for reading the Philosophy of Right from 1820 as a contribution to the lively and widespread public debate on the constitutional question in contemporary Central Europe. Drawing on a broad range of primary source material, this volume illuminates the wider political discourse in post-Napoleonic Germany, carefully locates Hegel's institutional commitments within their immediate cultural and political context, and reveals him as something closer to a public intellectual. By exploring this indispensable thinker's demand for the constitutional protection of popular participation in government, it contributes beyond Hegel scholarship to shed new light on the history of democratic theory in early nineteenth-century Europe and encourages critical reflection on questions of representation today. 600 10 Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich, |d1770-1831 |xPolitical and social views. 650 0 Constitutional history |zEurope, Central |y19th century. 650 0 Representative government and representation |zEurope, Central |xHistory |y19th century. 651 0 Europe, Central |xPolitics and government |y19th century. 776 08 |iPrint version: |z9781009305969 830 0 Ideas in context 956 40 |uhttps://doi.org/10.1017/9781009305983
