Description: Michael Quante focuses on what Hegel has to say about such central concepts as action, person and will, and then brings these views to bear on contemporary debates in analytic philosophy. This book enables professional analytic philosophers and their students to understand the significance of Hegel's philosophy to contemporary theory of action. As such, it will contribute to the ever-increasing erosion of the barrier between the continental and analytic approaches to philosophy.
Brief description: Michael Quante is Hochschuldozent in the Philosophisches Seminar des Westfalischen Wilhelms-Universität, Münster.
Review Quotes: "The book is clearly written, and Quante sets out his arguments in discrete steps, hence neither an expertise in neither Hegel nor analytic philosophy is essential for an appreciation of this book." - Patricia Calton, Rushford, Minnesota
