The issues that are critical to Hegel's philosophical theory of freedom are neither particularly special nor artificial for us today. Can we dismiss the truth that people are still embarking on an educational quest to attain completeness and self-knowledge without undermining their sacred faith in freedom? Can we defend individual freedoms and rights without falling into the myth of the privileged isolated subject?
Most traditional references to Hegel deny the moral and political significance of the concept of individual freedom. Some even question whether Hegel has an argument for individual freedom. There is a revival of interest in Hegel's ethics and politics, and this book contributes to the discussion by arguing that Hegel has a theory of individual freedom, which is connected to the conditions of freedom as they are deeply intertwined with other significant educational and cultural concerns of his.
The author offers an analytical and reconstructed presentation of Hegel's Gnostic theory, according to which freedom is a complex, general concept with descriptive and evaluative character, representing a quality that can be attributed both to the individual and to the social world. The book also provides a critical discussion of the internal tendencies and limitations of this theory and examines the moral and political implications in the contemporary demand for individual freedom.
