Hegel, Idealism, and Analytic Philosophy

In This Book-the First Large-scale Survey Of The Complex Relationship Between Hegel's Idealism And Anglo-american Analytic Philosophy-tom Rockmore Argues That Analytic Philosophy Has Consistently Misread And Misappropriated Hegel.according To Rockmore, The First Generation Of British Analytic Philosophers To Engage Hegel Possessed A Limited Understanding Of His Philosophy And Of Idealism. Succeeding Generations Continued To Misinterpret Him, And Recent Analytic Thinkers Have Turned Hegel Into A Pragmatist By Ignoring His Idealism. Rockmore Explains Why This Has Happened, Defends Hegel's Idealism, And Points Out The Ways That Hegel Is A Key Figure For Analytic Concerns, Focusing In Particular On The Fact That He And Analytic Philosophers Both Share An Interest In The Problem Of Knowledge.
