On the one hand, \"theory\" is often sceptical of all that Hegel ostensibly stood for: idealism, systematicity, and identity at the expense of difference. Yet, in spite of itself, literary theory is taken to owe a profound debt to Hegel's philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReading Hegel\u003c\/em\u003e by Dr. Robert Lucas Scott complicates this account and argues that literary theory has made the mistake of abstracting Hegel's thought from its more dynamic presentation in Hegel's writings, reducing Hegel to a series of propositions or positions. Literary theory, Scott argues, misses what is perhaps the greatest innovation of Hegel's philosophy: a presentation of experience that begins precisely by setting aside all preconceptions or prior assumptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is on this point that Hegel's philosophy itself approaches literature: its content cannot be simply abstracted from the singular experience of reading it. Only through a mode of reading alive to speculative experience can literary theory become truly Hegelian. Scott's exposition of Hegel offers a model of reading with relevance beyond philosophy: one that is critical without pretensions of mastery and detachment and that honours the singularity of the reading experience without succumbing to the subjectivism of the \"postcritical.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also includes engagements with the work of Luther, Kant, Marx, Gillian Rose, Fredric Jameson, Robert Brandom, Catherine Malabou, and more in its recovery of Hegel's thought for a critical understanding of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432075706604,"sku":"9780226838090","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226838090.jpg?v=1774556864"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/robert-lucas-scott.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
