Rezensionen

'Reading this book, it is fascinating to see how Hegel`s practical philosophy can even in its speculative elements be translated into a philosophical language used in moral epistemology today. Pippin succeeds in deepening our understanding of practical reason by giving a path-breaking interpretation of the way in which Hegel binds free agency to the social conditions of institutionally grounded practices of the mutual ascription of accountability. I am sure that this book will set a benchmark for all future research on Hegel and practical philosophy.' Axel Honneth, University of Frankfurt
