Hegel’s Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts is considered one of the classical and most influential works in modern legal and political philosophy. In it, he outlines a philosophy of objective spirit, partly based on earlier ‘natural law’ and partly in response to the political and legal conditions following the French Revolution and at the start of the Restoration period. Since its first publication in the winter of 1820/21, the Grundlinien has been the subject of intense philosophical and political debate, and it has lost none of its relevance to this day.
Volume 1 contains the text of the Grundlinien, for which a critical edition has been prepared, incorporating the corrections Hegel made in his personal copy.
