Rights in the Thought of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel
For Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, the significance of rights lay in the value of freedom. The distinctive feature of persons, their capacity to determine their own ends, grounded the obligation of other human beings to respect the conditions of free agency and thus to acknowledge one another as bearers of rights. All understood rights as universal and intersubjective: it follows that rights can only be fully realized in an appropriately constituted so…
The Cambridge History of Rights
The age of Enlightenment and revolutions produced some of our best-known declarations of rights, but they did not create the idea of rights. Writers during this age did such a good job at declaring rights that many historians and politicians later believed that they invented them. The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of Rights shows that the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are better understood as a time of transformation, extending rig…
Diagnosing Social Pathology
Can a human society suffer from illness like a living thing? And if so, how does such a malaise manifest itself? In this thought-provoking book, Fred Neuhouser explains and defends the idea of social pathology, demonstrating what it means to describe societies as 'ill', or 'sick', and why we are so often drawn to conceiving of social problems as ailments or maladies. He shows how Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, and Durkheim – four key philosophers who are…

Hegel on “the Living Good
Hegel calls social life “the living good,” but what this means is unclear. The idea expresses an ontological claim about the kind of being that human societies possess, but it is also normatively significant, clarifying why the category of social pathology is an appropriate tool of social critique. Social life consists in processes of life infused with ethical content. Societies are normatively and functionally constituted living beings that real…
Marx and Hegel on the Value of ‘Bourgeois’ Ideals
This chapter explores what positive normative role, if any, 'bourgeois' ideals—freedom, equality, and justice—play in Karl Marx's critique of capitalism and his vision of communism. Marx's normative position in 'On the Jewish Question' is grounded, no less than Hegel's, in an empirical understanding of the specific institutional circumstances of modernity—especially the nature of civil society—under which the conceptions of freedom at issue are r…
Rousseau's Critique of Inequality
Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin of Inequality among Mankind, published in 1755, is a vastly influential study of the foundations of human society, including the economic inequalities it tends to create. To date, however, there has been little philosophical analysis of the Discourse in the literature. In this book, Frederick Neuhouser offers a rich and incisive philosophical examination of the work. He clarifies Rousseau's arguments as to why s…
Rousseau's Critique of Inequality
Alienation
This book reconceives alienation as the absence of a meaningful relationship to oneself and others, something that manifests itself in feelings of helplessness and the despondent acceptance of ossified social roles and expectations. It draws on the Hegelian philosophical tradition, phenomenological analyses grounded in modern conceptions of agency and recent work in the analytical tradition. It notes that the Hegelian–Marxist idea of alienation f…
Nietzsche on Spiritual Illness and Its Promise
This article reconstructs Nietzsche's conception of spiritual illness, especially as exhibited in various forms of the bad conscience, and asks what positive, ennobling potential Nietzsche finds in it. The relevant concept of spirit is arrived at by reconstructing Nietzsche's conception of life and then considering what reflexive life—life turned back against itself—would look like. It distinguishes four independent features of spiritual illness:…
Rousseau's Critique of Economic Inequality
The Critical Function of Genealogy in the Thought of J.-J. Rousseau
This paper examines the kind of genealogical project Rousseau undertakes in the Discourse on the Origins of Inequality . It explains what it is for Rousseau to discover the “origins” of inequality and examines the normative implications of such an account, especially the relation his genealogical claims have to his critique of society. After arguing that the Discourse singles out l'amour propre as the psychological source of inequality, the paper…
Desire, Recognition, and the Relation between Bondsman and Lord
This chapter contains sections titled: Further Reading
Rousseau's Theodicy of Self-Love
This book studies Rousseau's rich and complex theory of the type of self-love (amour propre) that, for him, marks the central difference between humans and beasts. Amour-propre is the passion that drives human individuals to seek the esteem, approval, admiration, or love — the recognition — of their fellow beings. This book reconstructs Rousseau's understanding of what the drive for recognition is, why it is so problematic, and how its presence o…
Hegel’s Social Philosophy
Hegel's social philosophy, as articulated in his Philosophy of Right (1821), presents a vision of the rational social order that, despite certain obvious archaisms, is still of relevance to anyone interested in reconciling the best aspects of liberal social thought, including its concern for the rights and dignity of individuals, with the human need for deep and enduring communal attachments. Hegel's fundamental claim is that a single idea, prope…
The Cambridge Companion to Hegel and Nineteenth-Century Philosophy
The Cambridge Companion to Hegel and Nineteenth-Century Philosophy examines Hegel within his broader historical and philosophical contexts. Covering all major aspects of Hegel's philosophy, the volume provides an introduction to his logic, epistemology, philosophy of mind, social and political philosophy, philosophy of nature and aesthetics. It includes essays by an internationally recognised team of Hegel scholars. The volume begins with Terry P…
Die Idee einer Hegelianischen ,Wissenschaft‘ der Gesellschaft
This paper sets out the kind of intellectual enterprise Hegel’s science of society is by explaining its aim (reconciliation) and the method it employs to achieve that aim. It argues that Hegel’s science of society, similar to Smith’s and Marx’s, offers an account of the good social order that is grounded in both an empirical understanding of existing institutions and a normative commitment to a certain vision of the good life. It spells out the c…

Foundations of Hegel’s Social Theory
Frederick Neuhouser’s task is to understand the conceptions of freedom on which Hegel’s social theory rests and to show how they ground his arguments in defense of the modern social world. In doing so, the author focuses on Hegel’s most important and least understood contribution to social philosophy, the idea of “social freedom.”

Hegel's Idea of a 'Phenomenology of Spirit
Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit has acquired a paradoxical reputation as one of the most important and most impenetrable and inconsistent philosophical works. In this study Michael N. Forster advances his own reading of Hegel's text. His approach differs from that of previous scholars in two crucial ways: he reads it, first as a whole - not piecemeal, as it has usually been analyzed, and second, wihtin the context of Hegel's braoder corpus and th…

Rousseau's Critique of Economic Inequality
Freedom, Dependence, and the General Will
Freedom, in contrast to independence, is defined without reference to the concept of need. It refers, rather, to a condition of the will, and more precisely, to a particular relation between the will and the world. The meaning of freedom is captured in a rough way by Rousseau's characterization of the free being as who does his own will. Rousseau's view of dependence as the source of subjection suggests one obvious response to his central questio…
