It reveals how the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire informed his early speculative system and constitutional theory. In doing so, Boyd extends our understanding of Hegel's relation to European legal and political thought while offering an original interpretive framework for Hegel's absolute idealism and unfolding institutional theory of the state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathaniel Boyd\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher on the Leverhulme Trust-funded project \u003ci\u003eRethinking Civil Society: History, Theory, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c\/i\u003e, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of York, UK.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197061493010,"sku":"9781350584174","price":126.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a4521744-4df7-4b2b-8aae-7eabddf2374f.jpg?v=1776162417","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/hegel-and-german-public-law-9781350584174","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
