Abstract

The aim of this book is to take what is otherwise a clear and insightful analysis of the central structure of the Hegelian system and highlight its relevance to contemporary issues of sexuality and marriage, family and children. While the authors do present a strong, logically coherent, and well-argued position for the continued recognition of the meaningful contributions that Hegel’s work can make to these important and contentious issues, the persuasiveness of the first seven chapters of the book gives way in the last four chapters to an anticlimactic series of weakly-supported assertions.
