Reviews

'It is often thought that Hegel's philosophy fell into a rather deserved obsolescence by the middle of the nineteenth century. But Hegel's Century shows that even while Hegelianism waned, Hegel's concerns with alienation and recognition continued to set the agenda for European philosophy, both inside and outside the universities. It offers a magisterial yet accessible guide to those thinkers, mystics, and revolutionaries who appropriated these Hegelian themes for radically new purposes.' Mark Alznauer, Northwestern University

'It is often thought that Hegel's philosophy fell into a rather deserved obsolescence by the middle of the nineteenth century. But Hegel's Century shows that even while Hegelianism waned, Hegel's concerns with alienation and recognition continued to set the agenda for European philosophy, both inside and outside the universities. It offers a magisterial yet accessible guide to those thinkers, mystics, and revolutionaries who appropriated these Hegelian themes for radically new purposes.' Mark Alznauer, Northwestern University 'Among other things, this book is to be celebrated for its clarity and breadth of exposition. In an age of increasing academic specialization, Stewart shows great range in tackling such a broad theme from an intellectually active century. This work spans the fields of at least philosophy, theology, literature, and political theory, and displays a commanding knowledge of central texts from the period and the socio-historical context in which they appear.' Joshua Wretzel, International Journal of Philosophical Studies '… a good introduction for researchers who wish to familiarize themselves with the themes and debates of 19th century Hegelianism.' Ioanna Bartsidi, Archives de philosophie (translated from French) 'Stewart's book is a worthy choice as the primary teaching manual for an advanced undergraduate course in the history of 19th-century thought.' Nahum Brown, The Philosophical Quarterly
