Arash Abazari elegantly succeeds in explaining the critical potential of Hegel's logic as social theory. In going beyond the claims of the Philosophy of Right, his book adroitly sets out sophisticated new accounts of Hegel's contribution to the ideas of power and social totality. And it effectively challenges the communitarian-pragmatist interpretations that have largely dominated the field of Hegel studies over recent decades.' Brian O'Connor, University College Dublin 'This book is a penetrating and highly original attempt to think with Hegel, against Hegel. Arash Abazari argues that Hegel's most profound contribution to social theory lies not in his conception of institutionally mediated freedom, but in 'the logic of essence', out of which Abazari extracts a theory of power and social totality which he then uses to shed new light on later radical social theories such as those of Marx and Adorno. A fascinating and trenchantly argued work.' Todd Hedrick, Michigan State University 'This is a highly welcome and innovative study of Hegel's theory of society.
