The Necessity of Freedom in Hegel's Turn Between Logic and History explores Hegel’s claim that freedom is not just an abstract ideal but a necessary foundation for philosophy itself. This collection of essays examines how Hegel’s system connects logic, history, and rationality, shaping the meaning of historical development through the actualization of conceptual necessity.Hegel’s philosophical position is unique in the tradition of German idealism in its insistence that freedom is a necessity that permeates and grounds philosophy as a system. The contributions in this collection, as a result, work in the intersections between the philosophy of right, logic, phenomenology, history, and aesthetics to demonstrate this realization. Bringing together leading scholars, this volume investigates key dimensions of Hegel’s thought: Stephen Houlgate, Michael Quante, and Angelica Nuzzo on the philosophy of right; Iain Macdonald and Nahum Brown on the science of logic; Alberto Siani, Jennifer Bates, and Jim Vernon on the phenomenology of spirit; Jeffrey Reid and Timothy Brownlee on the philosophy of history and aesthetics; and John McCumber, Ian Balfour, and Rebecca Comay on Hegel and the French Revolution.Through close textual analysis, this volume illuminates how Hegel’s dialectic rejects atomistic individualism, instead emphasizing the subject’s role in actualizing political rationality. This collection offers fresh insights into Hegel’s enduring relevance in philosophy, history, and political thought.
Emilia Angelova is an associate professor of philosophy at Concordia University.
