Abstract
This book has focused primarily on the philosophical implications, for both feminism and Hegelianism, of engagements between Hegel and feminist thought. Traditionally, however, a key concern of feminist engagements with Hegel has had to do with the political implications of using his work for feminist purposes. In this final chapter, we revisit this traditional concern, in a debate over Hegel and feminist politics. We decided to do this by inviting four feminist philosophers with a long-term, active, and diverse engagement in feminist politics to exchange views on the question of the relevance of Hegel’s work for contemporary feminist politics. In doing this we hope to highlight the very different ways in which philosophical and political concerns intersect within feminist thought on Hegel.
