Philosophy of Right (Dover Philosophical Classics) - Softcover

In this 1821 classic, Hegel applies his most important concept ― the dialectics ― to law, rights, morality, the family, economics, and the state. The philosopher defines universal right as the synthesis between the thesis of an individual acting in accordance with the law and the occasional conflict of an antithetical desire to follow private convictions.

G. W. F. Hegel (1770-1831) was one of the leading German philosophers of the nineteenth century. He taught at the University of Heidelberg and the University of Berlin, where he wrote his most important works, "The Phenomenology of the Spirit "(1870) and the "Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences "(1818).
