520    "This book offers the first historical treatment of 
       Hegel's political ideas since the 1970s. It completely 
       revises our understanding of his response to the French 
       Revolution, the most dramatic and significant event of his
       age. A fresh account of his take on the Revolution itself 
       provides a new perspective on his thought as a whole. It 
       also illuminates Hegel's relevance to modern politics. 
       Dominant strands of post-War thought have taken the form 
       of a repudiation of Hegel. This reaction has largely been 
       based on dubious arguments and poor scholarship. The 
       alternative analysis offered here contextualizes attempts 
       to disparage Hegel as pursued by strands of critical 
       theory associated with postmodernism. In the process, the 
       book challenges recent onslaughts against so-called 
       "Western" rationalism. It takes issue with the ambition to
       relativize all values and to represent knowledge as an 
       effect of power"--|cProvided by publisher 
520    "A new account of the relevance of Hegel's ideas for 
       today's world, countering the postwar anti-Hegel 
       "insurgency"G.W.F. Hegel was widely seen as the greatest 
       philosopher of his age. Ever since, his work has shaped 
       debates about issues as varied as religion, aesthetics and
       metaphysics. His most lasting contribution was his vision 
       of history and politics. In Hegel's World Revolutions, 
       Richard Bourke returns to Hegel's original arguments, 
       clarifying their true import and illuminating their 
       relevance to contemporary society. Bourke shows that 
       central to Hegel's thought was his anatomy of the modern 
       world. On the one hand he claimed that modernity was a 
       deliverance from subjection, but on the other he saw it as
       having unleashed the spirit of critical reflection. Bourke
       explores this predicament in terms of a series of world 
       revolutions that Hegel believed had ushered in the rise of
       civil society and the emergence of the constitutional 
       state.Bourke interprets Hegel's thought, with particular 
       reference to his philosophy of history, placing it in the 
       context of his own time. He then recounts the reception of
       Hegel's political ideas, largely over the course of the 
       twentieth century. Countering the postwar revolt against 
       Hegel, Bourke argues that his disparagement by major 
       philosophers has impoverished our approach to history and 
       politics alike. Challenging the condescension of leading 
       thinkers-from Heidegger and Popper to Lévi-Strauss and 
       Foucault-the book revises prevailing views of the 
       relationship between historical ideas and present 
       circumstances"--|cProvided by publisher
