{"product_id":"hegels-anthropology-allegra-de-laurentiis-9780810143760","title":"Hegel's Anthropology: Life, Psyche, and Second Nature","description":"This book provides a critical analysis of Hegel's \u003ci\u003eAnthropology\u003c\/i\u003e, a long-neglected treatise dedicated to the psyche, or \"soul,\" that bridges Hegel's philosophy of organic nature with his philosophy of subjective spirit. Allegra de Laurentiis recuperates this overlooked text, guiding readers through its essential arguments and ideas. She shows how Hegel conceives of the \"sublation\" of natural motion, first into animal sentience and then into the felt presentiment of selfhood, all the way to the threshold of self-reflexive thinking. She discusses the \u003ci\u003eAnthropology \u003c\/i\u003ein the context of Hegel's mature system of philosophy (the \u003ci\u003eEncyclopaedia\u003c\/i\u003e) while also exposing some of the scientific and philosophical sources of his conceptions of unconscious states, psychosomatism, mental pathologies, skill formation, memorization, bodily habituation, and the self-conditioning capacities of our species. This treatise on the becoming of \u003ci\u003eanthropos\u003c\/i\u003e, she argues, displays the power and limitations of Hegel's idealistic \"philosophy of the real\" in connecting such phenomena as erect posture, a discriminating hand, and the forward gaze to the emergence of the human ego, or the structural disintegration of the social world to the derangement of the individual mind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A groundbreaking contribution to scholarship on Hegel and nineteenth-century philosophy, this book shows that the \u003ci\u003eAnthropology \u003c\/i\u003eis essential to understanding Hegel's concept of spirit, not only in its connection with nature but also in its more sophisticated realizations as objective and absolute spirit. Future scholarship on this subject will recount--and build upon--de Laurentiis's innovative study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allegra de Laurentiis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810143763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810143760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.79d","brand":"Allegra de Laurentiis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045429571839,"sku":"9780810143760","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1bafa1e-db1a-4c3f-aa5d-7728f3e10fc8.jpg?v=1684978698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hegels-anthropology-allegra-de-laurentiis-9780810143760","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
