Hegel: The Restlessness of the Negative by Jean-Luc Nancy

A major philosopher gives us a new view of Hegel for our time. Jean-Luc Nancy offers a portrait of Hegel as startlingly unconventional as it is persuasive, and at the same time demonstrates its relevance to a very contemporary understanding of the political. Here Hegel appears not as the quintessential dispassionate synthesizer and totalizer, but as the inaugural thinker of the contemporary world.
