Hegel's Philosophy Of Right

Among the most influential parts of the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel (1770-1831) were his ethics, his theory of the state & his philosophy of history. The Philosophy of Right (Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts, 1821), the last work published in Hegel's lifetime, is a combined system of moral & political philosophy, or a sociology dominated by the idea of the state. Here Hegel repudiates his earlier assessment of the French Revolution as a "a marvelous sunrise" in the realization of liberty. Rejecting the republican form of government, he espouses an idealized form of a constitutional monarchy, whose ultimate power rests with the sovereign.
