Historical Dictionary of Hegelian Philosophy
ISBN: 9780810860513 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel evoked passionate discipleship, as well as equally passionate opposition.

He has been charged with being a proponent of an authoritarian state by some, and he has been accused of instigating the dissolution of the state by others. Notoriously difficult to understand, Hegel's keen insights continue his legacy today. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Hegelian Philosophy covers all aspects of Hegel's thought. It discusses his students and...

Freedom is central to human existence, and human relations and encounters cannot be reduced simply to thinking: the whole being is involved with the progress toward freedom. This dictionary provides -...
