This major addition to the series of Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought seeks to give students with no specialist knowledge access to both the practical and the metaphysical aspects of Hegel`s political thought.The ethical and metaphysical texts in this collection both illuminate and contrast with those
political and histwrical texts in which Hegel draws important conchusions about the modern world from remarable comparative analysis of recent developments in England,France and Germany.the translator of these texts,H.B.Nisbet ,wasresponsible forthe acclaimed rendition of Hegel`s Philosophy of Right already published in this series ,and Laurence Dickey`s lucid editorial commentary introduces thisdistinctive corpus of political writing by one of the very greatest thinkers inEuropean tradition.A full chronology,explanatory annotation,glossary and bibliography are appended to aid the student reader. LAURENCE DICKEY is Professor of History at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
H.B.NISBET is Professor of Modern Languages of Cambridge,and a Fellow of Sidney Sidney Sussex College.
