description: “9/11, global terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, anthrax, ethnic cleansing, Enron, education in chaos, Columbine, ‘bi-polar’ disorder, corruption in the Church, . . .It is obvious to anyone alive today that the world is DYSFUNCTIONAL. The question is, Why is it dysfunctional. We believe that the text you are now reading will begin to explain why the world is dysfunctional, and indicate in general features what can be done to make it FUNCTIONAL. . . It is Hegel alone who holds the key to understanding what is going on in the world today.”[From the Introduction]“Dr. Foldes has written an extremely provocative work on Hegel, cogently arguing that it is only through his singular achievement that we have a way of combating the nihilism pervading our intellectual and cultural life and times, showing that nihilism is a necessary phase we must pass through to realize the full meaning of redemption. . . I was especially impressed by the incisive diagnosis and prognosis of our situation presented in the Introductory Essay, which by itself is worth the price of admission. . . One comes away fully persuaded that the case for the absolute importance of Hegel for our times has finally been made.”Alex Delfini, Professor of Philosophy, Iona College“If there are any doubts about the relevance of Hegel and German Idealism to the problems we face today, this book puts them to rest. Dr. Foldes offers a bold and coherent understanding of what ails us and where to look for a remedy.”John Lachs, Centennial Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University.
