Originally published in France as Hegel: L'inquietude du negatif. Copyright Hachette Litteratures, 1997.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 109-120) and index.
A portrait of Hegel as startling unconventional as it is persuasive, and at the same time demonstrates its relevance to a very contemporary understanding of the political. Here Hegel appears not as the quintessential dispassionate synthesizer and totalizer, but as the inaugural thinker of the contemporary world.
