For Hegel, this distinction is crucial because it illuminates the different ways poetry and prose allow us to understand ourselves as members of an ethical community. In this paper, I argue, using Hegel, that the ...

Cuando él propicia que Zaratustra hable acerca «el más frío todos monstruos fríos», lo hace con una promesa futuro: «Allí, donde Estado acaba, ahí comie...

G. W. F. Hegel (1770–1831) has commonly been seen as Europe’s leading philosopher since Kant. His influence extended across the globe down to Second World War – not least through his dissident disciple, Karl Marx.
