Bloomsbury Hegel and the Analytic Tradition (Continuum Studies in Philosophy): 53

Product Description This is an important collection of essays that rectifies a long-standing misconception in the history of the relation between Hegel and analytic philosophy. Offering one of the first initiatives of reconciliation between the analytic and continental philosophical traditions, this important collection of original essays offers a new perspective on Hegel's philosophy within the context of some of the themes central to current discussion. Placing Hegel at the intersection between continental and analytic philosophy, the book presents an indispensable guide to the most current contemporary debates and to an emerging topic within Hegel studies. Analytic philosophy has long been held to consider Hegel its bete noir. Yet in fact Hegel and analytic philosophy converge on some crucial issues, which suggests that, although analytic philosophy initially declared its anti-Hegelianism, it is in fact nourished of Hegelian themes and defended through Hegelian concepts. The essays in this volume address this apparent paradox, offering 'analytic' readings of Hegel, Hegelian readings of the analytic tradition, historical explorations of Hegel's confrontation with Kant and of the analytic tradition's debt to Hegel, and new interpretations of Hegelian texts. "Continuum Studies in Philosophy" presents cutting-edge scholarship in all the major areas of research and study. The wholly original arguments, perspectives and research findings in titles in this series make it an important and stimulating resource for students and academics from a range of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences. Review 'I believe that the engagement between analytic and Hegelian forms of philosophy can be 'enormously fruitful'. This volume itself testifies to this assessment. Both analytic philosophers and Hegelians alike should find in it much to engage their interests and challenge their assumptions.' --Philosophy About the Author Angelica Nuzzo is Professor of Philosophy at the Graduate Center and Brooklyn College, CUNY, USA.
