The Problem of Nature in Hegel’s Final System

With clarity and rigor, Wes Furlotte provides a fundamental and sweeping reassessment of Hegel’s intellectual itinerary as well as his mature philosophical project.　 He convincingly recasts Hegelian Naturphilosophie as absolutely central to Hegel’s larger framework.　 What is more, Furlotte’s depiction of the situation of human mindedness and culture within the broader expanse of natural reality renders the Hegelian Philosophy of Nature strikingly timely - a live theoretical option for the early-twenty-first century. This book makes crucial contributions to the ongoing reassessment of Hegel’s enduring significance * Professor Adrian Johnston, University of New Mexico *
