Understanding Hegelianism by Robert Sinnerbrink
Understanding Hegelianism explores the ways in which Hegelian and anti-Hegelian currents of thought have shaped some of the most significant movements in twentieth-century European philosophy, particularly the traditions of critical theory, existentialism, Marxism and poststructuralism. The first part of the book examines Kierkegaard's existentialism and Marx's materialism, which present two defining poles of subsequent Hegelian and anti-Hegelian movements. The second part looks at the contrasting critiques of Hegel by Lukacs and Heidegger, which set the stage for the appropriation of Hegelian themes in German critical theory and the anti-Hegelian turn in French poststructuralism. The role of Hegelian themes in the work of Adorno, Habermas and Honneth are explored.
"Twentieth-century continental philosophy can best be understood as a series of responses to Hegel and yet that simple fact is often invisible to studentsRobert Sinnerbrink's eminently accessible study opens up that perspective in a most impressive way and thereby promises to make a genuine contribution to how the next generation sees that history." - Robert Bernasconi, University of Memphis"
