'Reading this book, it is fascinating to see how Hegel`s practical philosophy can even in its speculative elements be translated into a philosophical language used in moral epistemology today. Pippin succeeds in deepening our understanding of practical reason by giving a path-breaking interpretation of the way in which Hegel binds free agency to the social conditions of institutionally grounded practices of the mutual ascription of accountability. I am sure that this book will set a benchmark for all future research on Hegel and practical philosophy.' Axel Honneth, University of Frankfurt 'This deep and provocative book masterfully recasts Hegel's brilliant, but almost aggressively obscure, thought about the social normative conditions of human agency as an absolutely up-to-date, progressive, potentially transformative contribution to the current philosophical conversation.' Robert Brandom, University of Pittsburgh '... the book does a good job of rendering some very difficult topics intelligible, putting them within the grasp of the general reader. ... the book has more than enough to recommend it to contemporary readers ...' The Philosophers' Magazine 'Robert Pippin is a fine philosopher and he has delivered a fine book.'
