Samuel Hollander

Hegel on Ethics, the State and Public Policy

Comparisons with Immanuel Kant and Utilitarianism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on a wide range of Hegel's writings, this book analyses the Hegelian position on ethical action. This position is systematically compared with that of Immanuel Kant, the comparison emphasizing Hegel's insistence on a morality grounded in an 'ethical' context which essentially refers to the State rather than the agent's private will.
