G.W.F. Hegel's monumental Elements of the Philosophy of Right

This episode delves into G.W.F. Hegel's monumental Elements of the Philosophy of Right, exploring his distinct and often challenging conception of freedom. We examine how Hegel’s communitarian perspective, which emphasizes the state over the individual, contrasts sharply with the classic social contract theories of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau. Discover how Hegel’s philosophy shapes understanding of persons, property, punishment, civil society, and the state.
