Hegel on Ethics, the State and Public Policy - Comparisons with Immanuel Kant and Utilitarianism

Drawing on a wide range of Hegel''s writings, this book analyses the Hegelian position on ethical action. This position is systematically compared with that of Immanuel Kant, the comparison emphasizing Hegel''s insistence on a morality grounded in an ''ethical'' context which essentially refers to the State rather than the agent''s private will.
