The Hegelian Right and Contemporary Use of Hegel: Against the Distortions of the Dialectic: Hegel as an Antidote to the Totalitarian Readings of Moder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279261468)

Volume 4 of William Marcos' Hegel: Origins, System, and Legacy series offers an in-depth analysis of the impact of Hegelian philosophy on contemporary political rights. Throughout this volume, Marcos explores how conservative and liberal philosophers such as Friedrich Hayek, Roger Scruton, and Michael Oakeshott appropriated Hegel's ideas to ground their critiques of socialism and his defense of social order. In careful analysis, the author argues that the Hegelian dialectic, far from being a tool for revolutions and social ruptures, offers a robust philosophical basis for maintaining stability and promoting individual freedom.
This volume also presents how Hegel's philosophy can be used to rebuild the foundations of social order in a time of global crisis. Marcos analyzes the relationship between Hegelian idealism and modern right-wing philosophies, and how they use Hegel's dialectic to justify freedom and promote a more just society. Contrary to Marxist readings that propose the destruction of the existing order, conservative and liberal thinkers propose a rational organization of the State, which guarantees individual freedom within a democratic and orderly system.

Who is this book for:
This volume is especially useful for scholars of political philosophy, conservative and liberal philosophers, and academics interested in understanding the contemporary use of Hegelian dialectics on political rights. It is also recommended for readers seeking to understand how Hegel's ideas have influenced modern thinkers who advocate order, freedom, and social stability. This book offers an in-depth approach to political philosophy, focusing on the theories that underpin economic freedom and political stability, in contrast to Marxist theories.
