Emancipation After Hegel - Achieving a Contradictory Revolution - Todd McGowan Kartoniert (TB)

In this book Todd McGowan offers us a Hegel for the twenty-first century. Simultaneously an introduction to Hegel and a fundamental reimagining of Hegel's project Emancipation After Hegel presents a radical Hegel who speaks to a world overwhelmed by right-wing populism authoritarianism neoliberalism and economic inequalities. McGowan argues that the revolutionary core of Hegel's thought is contradiction. He reveals that contradiction is inexorable and that we must attempt to sustain it rather than overcoming it or dismissing it as a logical failure. McGowan contends that Hegel's notion of contradiction when applied to contemporary problems challenges any assertion of unitary identity as every identity is in tension with itself and dependent on others.
