Ebook: Im Reich der Freiheit: Hegels Theorie autonomer Vernunft

According to Hegel, the capacity for freedom – understood as autonomous reason – is fundamental for thinking and knowing, and similarly, for wanting and acting. For Hegel, the “logical space of reason” constitutes a “realm of freedom.” Franz Knappik examines how Hegel developed these thoughts into a comprehensive theory that encompasses logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and practical rationality. In his discussions about the analytic approaches to interpretation and contemporary issues in philosophy, Knappik demonstrates both the originality of Hegel’s position and its relevance to contemporary thought.
