description: This translates Elements of the Philosophy of Right. Hegel's last major publication systematizes ethical theory, natural right, the philosophy of law, political theory &amp; the sociology of the state into a philosophy of history framework. The work has been interpreted in radically different ways, influencing political movements from far right to left, &amp; is widely seen as central to the communitarian tradition in ethical, social &amp; political thought. This edition includes material giving the historical background of the text, &amp; explaining allusions to Roman law etc., making use of recently available lecture materials. It's literal, readable &amp; consistent, scholarly enough to serve students &amp; specialists alike.
