HEGEL AND THE FUTURE OF SYSTEMATIC PHILOSOPHY: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "HEGEL AND THE FUTURE OF SYSTEMATIC PHILOSOPHY" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Hegel and the future of systematic philosophy critically rehabilitates Hegels post-enlightenment project of doing systematic philosophy without foundations, showing how it can solve the dilemmas afflicting contemporary analytic and post-modern thought alike. Thinking through and building upon Hegels arguments, the book tackles the most important issues driving current debates in logic, epistemology, metaphysics, the philosophies of nature and mind, ethics, and aesthetics. Ranging over such topics as the objectivity of thought, the limits of intersubjectivity, the legitimacy of capitalism and globalization, the relation of civil society and the state, and the connection of civilization to literary form, Hegel and the future of systematic philosophy stakes out a powerful challenge to both the prevailing interpretations of Hegel and the reigning philosophical schools of today.

Introduction

The Enlightenment enjoins us to question given dogma and tradition and think for ourselves. It summons us to advance the autonomy of reason and achieve emancipation in all spheres of life. In embracing freedom of thought, action, and artistic creativity, the Enlightenment has sought, however, to provide foundations for autonomy. Reason has been subjected to a critique seeking to determine the conditions of objective knowledge. The legitimacy of institutions of freedom has been grounded in natural principles of liberty through social contract and other privileged procedures of construction. The autonomy of beauty has been rooted in privileged forms of reception. In all of these efforts, what should be self-determined is grounded upon some antecedent foundation. As a result, the autonomy of reason, conduct, and fine art is left founded upon privileged factors whose own authority is open to question. Instead of being genuinely self-determined, autonomy is reduced to something determined by something else. The project of the Enlightenment cannot succeed on these, its own terms.

Most post-Enlightenment thought has rejected the ideals of the Enlightenment by embracing the Enlightenments fundamental assumption, that freedom has foundations. Accepting this presupposition, these critics of the Enlightenment have set about unmasking reason, conduct, and beauty as impostors whose celebrated autonomy is actually conditioned by particular factors whose privileged role is arbitrary. What these critics have failed to acknowledge is that their deconstruction of the Enlightenment project undermines the authority of their own diagnosis. By accepting that reason, conduct, and fine art are always rooted in contingent foundations, the would-be grave diggers of the Enlightenment should admit that nothing they think, do, or create has any universal binding normativity but is instead a conditioned effort relative to the contingent foundations on which it rests.
