| Sumario: | Hegel's Theory of ‘Civil Society’ and the political economy of the Scottish Enlightenment, Hegel's section on ‘civil society’ Philosophy of Right (§§ 182ss), reveals his indebtedness to the Scottish Enlightenment: to Adam Ferguson, David Hume, Adam Smith, Sir James Steuart, and others. This indebtedness has long attracted the attention of scholars. However, new editions of various sets of notes on Hegel's lectures (by Ilting, Henrich, the Hegel-Archives) and the recent revival of interest in the Scottish Enlightenment have fundamentally changed our perception of the Scottish impact on Hegel. This article takes these changes into account and re-examines the following questions: who were the authors Hegel had in mind, when he spoke of the new science of political economy, and when did he study these authors? Finally, what significance does Hegel's reception of political economy still possess, especially for those East-European countries that now approach the problems of ‘civil society’? |
