Bøger af Klaus Vieweg

Zur Erinnerung an den 250. Geburtstag von Hegel versammelt dieser Band mit dem ungewöhnlichen Titel »Das Beste von Hegel - The Best of Hegel« Beiträge zur Aktualität des Hegelschen Denkens. Es geht um ein einziges Thema: jeder Beiträger versucht, das zu pointieren, was ihm als das Beste in Hegels Philosophie gilt, was zu dem theoretisch Herausragenden dieser Philosophie zählt. In den Aufsätzen geht es nicht um Apologie oder Hagiographie, sondern um ein kritisches Interpretieren und kreatives Aufarbeiten der Theoriepotentiale dieser Philosophie, um gegen die heute grassierende >unintelligente Wut< auf den Aristoteles der Neuzeit, den bedeutendsten Philosophen der Moderne, zu argumentieren, um Hegels Gedanken, die auch die nächsten 250 Jahre grundlegend prägen werden. Das Spektrum der jetzt vorliegenden Texte reicht von Hegels moderner Logik bis hin zu Lehrstücken aus der Philosophie des Geistes.

"A monumental new biography of a pivotal yet poorly understood pioneer in modern philosophy. When a painter once told Goethe that he wanted to paint the most famous man of the age, Goethe directed him to Georg Friederich Wilhelm Hegel. Hegel, the most famous figure in modern philosophy, arguably its father, believed that to philosophize is to learn to live freely. He was slow and cautious in the development of his philosophy; yet his intellectual growth was like an Odyssey of the mind, and, contrary to popular belief, his life was full of twists and turns, of suspense and even danger. In this landmark biography, the philosopher Klaus Vieweg paints a new picture of the life and work of the most important representative of German idealism. His vivid portrait provides readers an intimate account of Hegel's times and the milieu in which he developed his thought, along with detailed, clear-sighted analyses of Hegel's four major works. What results is a new interpretation of Hegel through the lens of reason and freedom. Vieweg draws on extensive archival research that has brought to light a wealth of hitherto undiscovered documents and handwritten notes relating to Hegel's work, touching on Hegel's engagement with the leading thinkers and writers of his age: Kant, Fichte, Schelling, HoáI p8 slderlin and others. Combatting clicheáI p1 ss and misunderstandings about Hegel, Vieweg also offers a sustained defense of the philosopher's more progressive impulses. Highly praised upon its release in Germany as having set the new biographical standard, this monumental work emphasizes Hegel's relevance for today, depicting him as a vital figure in the history of philosophy"--
