Hegel's Elements of the Philosophy of Right | Axel Honneth [writ LARGE]

In Elements of the Philosophy of Right, the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel explored the nature of individual freedom and how society can guarantee it for all citizens. Hegel argued that protecting basic rights wasn’t enough. Instead, we need a robust government and interdependence with other people to fully realize our individual freedom.  

Axel Honneth is a professor of philosophy at Columbia University and Director of the Institute for Social Research at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main. He’s the author of The Pathologies of Individual Freedom: Hegel's Social Theory and Pathologies of Reason: On the Legacy of Critical Theory, among other books.
