Description
This study presents an original interpretation of the meaning and
complex inter-relationship of the concepts of love, sexuality, family
and the law. It argues that they should be understood as forms of
interplay between the subjective and the objective, necessity and
contingency and unity and difference. A comprehensive elaboration of
these forms is to be found in Hegel’s Science
of Logic—the conclusions of which he used to organise his
ethical and political thought. The argument is introduced with a
discussion of the relevance of Hegel’s speculative philosophy to
modernity. The authors then explore the relationship between thought,
being and recognition in Hegel’s philosophical system and offer an
interpretation of the Science of Logic.
This interpretation forms the basis of a re-assessment of Hegel’s
treatment of love, sexual relationships, the family and law. A Hegelian
account of familial love is employed to review recent debates within a
range of discourses, including feminism, family law and gay and lesbian
studies. As well as addressing current concerns about sexual difference
and the ontology of homosexuality, the study provides a guide to reading
Hegel in an original and productive way. It will be of interest to
philosophers, feminists, theorists of sexualities, ethical and legal
theorists. Contents
