The following Lectures, forming the second series of Balfour Philosophical Lectures, were delivered in the University of Edinburgh at the close of last winter session. They take up the questions which were suggested by the concluding lecture of the previous course on Scottish Philosophy; but they will be found to depend for intelligibility on nothing beyond themselves. In preparing for publication, I have adhered to the lecture form; but in what now stands as the third and fourth lectures, I have found it desirable to alter the arrangement of topics which was adopted in delivery. I have also endeavoured, by occasional changes and additions, and by the help of Appendices and fuller references, to bring into relief the chief points on which my criticism turns, and at the same time, by more careful definition, to avoid the possibility of misconception.

Die Vorrede der Hegelschen Rechtsphilosophie endet mit einem denkwürdigen Bild: "Wenn die Philosophie ihr Grau in Grau malt, dann ist eine Gestalt des Lebens alt geworden, und mit Grau in Grau lässt sie sich nicht verjüngen, sondern nur erkennen; die Eule der Minerva beginnt erst mit der einbrechenden Dämmerung ihren Flug." Was ist mit diesem Rätselwort gemeint? Und was bedeutet es für die Rechtsphilosophie? Während über die erste Frage seit jeher nachgedacht wird, ist kaum je thematisiert worden, warum ein Wort dieser Dignität gerade in der Vorrede der Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts seinen Platz hat. Mit der Vorrede zur Rechtsphilosophie und ihrem berühmten Bild der Eule der Minerva hat Hegel freilich nicht nur sein System gekrönt, sondern zugleich dessen sichtbarsten Angriffspunkt geschaffen. Die mit der Vernunft gleichgesetzte Gerechtigkeit, um die es Hegel zu tun ist, gerät unter dem Systemzwang zu einem nachträglichen Konstrukt, das durch die Eule der Minerva zugleich methodisch begründet und bildhaft verbrämt wird. Die Weltgeschichte bietet indes als Weltgericht keine Gerechtigkeitsgewähr. Nietzsche, für den "bei Hegel alles nichtswürdiges Grau ist" und dem die Weltgeschichte nicht das Weltgericht, sondern "ein Lärm um die letzten Neuigkeiten ist", wird Hegels Philosophie der Abenddämmerung die Morgenröte entgegensetzen.

Alice Ormiston's Love and Politics argues that modern politics is rooted not merely in the pursuit of power, but that it is essentially underpinned by the experience of love. Hegel understood love as a principle that unites reason and emotion, and self and other, and that provides the foundation for a deep sense of connectedness to the world and for genuine acts of autonomy. Through an original and highly accessible interpretation of Hegel's works, Ormiston shows how the modern commitment to individual rights and freedoms can only be adequately understood by reference to the experience of love that lies at the foundation of the modern subject and its political expression in acts of conscience. Hegel's thought thus joins forces with feminist arguments for an embodied theory of the subject and for a focus on empathy in political reasoning, with republican concerns about democracy and civic education, and with postmodern concerns about the otherness of certain experiences and forms of knowledge. Ormiston's book offers a developed concept of the subject that can serve as a foundation for resistance to problems of our time, including atomism and instrumental rationality, the ills of an unfettered capitalism, and the reality of a radical evil.

By way of a sustained interrogation of Zarathustra's doctrine of self-overcoming, Francesca Cauchi lays bare the asceticism underlying the prescriptive injunctions set forth in the first two parts of 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'. These injunctions fall under three heads: self-legislation, self-denial and self-sacrifice, which are shown to bear striking affinities with concepts first formulated by Kant, Hegel and Feuerbach, respectively. In Cauchi's new reading, the Kantian rational will, the Hegelian 'labour of the negative' and Feuerbach's indivisible trinity of love, sacrifice and suffering are seen to resurface in Zarathustra as the agents of a ferocious and self-eviscerating doctrine of self-overcoming that exhibits all the attributes of a moral tyranny.
