Hegel and Empire

Viac o knihe

Hegel's analysis of Africa, India, and Islam is scrutinized for its implications on postcolonial and global studies. The book delves into his master-slave dialectic and situates his views within a European philosophical framework, while also highlighting the critiques from postcolonial scholars. Each chapter provides a detailed examination of how Hegel's Eurocentric traits reflect modernity, yet paradoxically offers tools for fostering a more inclusive global perspective. This nuanced appraisal reveals the complexities of Hegel's influence in contemporary discourse.
