“…One fault line in recent work on the Philosophy of Right concerns whether we should follow Hegel's advice and read the Philosophy of Right in light of Hegel's metaphysics in the Logic. Despite its title, Hegel's Logic is not an account of what we would now call “formal logic”; rather, the Logic lays out Hegel's metaphysical account of the structure of all rationally intelligible processes (Horstmann, , 72–74; Neuhouser, , 41, 133; Nuzzo, ). Thom Brooks refers to intepretations that take Hegel's claim about the dependence of the Philosophy of Right on his Logic seriously as “systematic interpretations” (Brooks, , 3) .…”

“…The chapters on "Punishment" and "Law," by contrast, while interesting in their own right, seemed to draw less on Hegel's larger philosophical system. 9 For a "processualist" reading of Hegel's Logic, see Nuzzo (2006). 10 It is important, for Hegel's systematic purposes that men and women are essentially different, so that their unification can overcome their difference.…”

This article discusses three topics that have been the subject of debate in recent scholarship on Hegel's social and political philosophy: first, the relevance of Hegel's systematic metaphysics for interpreting Hegel's social and political writings; second, the relation between recognition (Anerkennung), social institutions, and rational agency; and third, the connection between the constellation of institutions and norms that Hegel calls “ethical life” (Sittlichkeit) and Hegel's theory of freedom. This article provides a critical overview of the positions in these three debates. In the case of the first debate, I clarify the conceptual terrain by distinguishing between several kinds of systematicity that are at issue. In the case of the second debate, I argue that the views of two of the major participants, Axel Honneth and Robert Pippin, are in fact compatible. In the case of the third debate, I seek to clarify the connection in Hegel between two different ideas of freedom in ethical life, each of which has been emphasized by different interpreters of Hegel: the idea of freedom as non‐alienation and the idea of freedom as social freedom. I conclude with a discussion of the ways in which ethical life, for Hegel, enables the freedom of individuals.
