Hegels Kritik des Subjektivismus der neuzeitlichen Rechts- und Sozialphilosophie im Naturrechtsaufsatz

Franz Hespe

pp. 165-179

It could seem prima facie that when Hegel sought to ground Law in the teleological structure of the objective spirit instead of in the free will he was returning to the Aristotelian concept of politics. It will be shown, however, that Hegel did not seek to ground the State and Law in a predetermined order that precedes any activity of the subject. Instead, he thought of Law as the connection between legal norms and legal relations within which Law is realized.
