Abstract
Hegel, perhaps the most self-questioning of all philosophers, was well aware that his thought was a response to intense social dislocation. It was “only after the power of life” had “gone out of human life that the need for philosophy” arose.1 And indeed, as we shall see, Hegel’s mature philosophy emerged out of the ruins of his original dream that society could once again unite men in freedom and dignity. This dream continued to haunt Hegel, permeating much of his mature writing, at times even vitiating his own explicit judgements on politics.2
