All the powers of academia have entered into a holy alliance to exorcize this spirit: Vitalists and Eschatologists, Transcendental Pragmatists and Speculative Realists, Historical Materialists and even 'liberal Hegelians'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhich of these groups has not been denounced as metaphysically Hegelian by its opponents?

Progressives, liberals and reactionaries alike receive this condemnation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn light of this situation, it is high time that true Hegelians should openly admit their allegiance and, without obfuscation, express the importance and validity of Hegelianism to the contemporary intellectual scene.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo this end, a small group of Hegelians of different nationalities have assembled to sketch the following book - a book which addresses a number of pressing issues that a contemporary reading of Hegel allows a new perspective on: our relation to the future, our relation to nature and our relation to the absolute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSlavoj Žižek\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor at the Institute of Sociology, Ljubljana, Slovenia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrank Ruda\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Dundee and Professor at the European Graduate School.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAgon Hamza\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of philosophy at ISSHS, Skopje.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50382837416210,"sku":"9781509545902","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ed253ba3-0f09-4848-b223-eddb5e2538c1.jpg?v=1728772374","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/reading-hegel-9781509545902","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
