Alan Patten presents an original interpretation of Hegel's idea of freedom, and offers answers to a number of central questions about his ethical and political thought. Freedom is the value that Hegel most admired and the central organizing concept of his social philosophy. Patten's clear and jargon-free study will be of interest to anyone concerned with Hegel or with the sources of contemporary ideas about freedom, community, and the state.
