Hegel and the Primacy of Politics

Hegel's philosophical ideas clash with contemporary post-1989 capitalism, particularly his focus on historicity during the so-called end of history and his emphasis on communitarian subjectivity amidst individualistic isolation. His advocacy for an ethical State and the importance of political authority stand in stark contrast to today's deregulated market and liberalist values, highlighting the profound incompatibility between his thought and modern capitalist structures.
