Hegel's Doctrine Of The Will (1896)

Hegel's Doctrine of the Will is a book written by John Angus MacVannel in 1896. It is an in-depth exploration of the philosophical ideas of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, particularly his views on the will. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of Hegel's philosophy of the will. MacVannel begins by introducing the concept of the will and discussing its importance in Hegel's philosophy. He then goes on to explore the relationship between the will and freedom, arguing that for Hegel, true freedom is only possible when the will is in harmony with reason. The book also delves into Hegel's views on moral responsibility and the role of the will in ethical decision-making. MacVannel argues that for Hegel, the will is not simply a matter of personal choice, but is shaped by a complex network of cultural and historical factors. Throughout the book, MacVannel provides detailed analysis of Hegel's writing, drawing on a wide range of sources to provide a comprehensive overview of his philosophy of the will. He also engages with other philosophers who have written on the same topic, including Arthur Schopenhauer and Immanuel Kant. Overall, Hegel's Doctrine of the Will is a thorough and insightful exploration of one of the most important concepts in Hegelian philosophy. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of philosophy, as well as those who are interested in the nature of the will and its role in human life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
