In Defense of Reason After Hegel repudiates the assault on truth pervading public life and the academy by drawing upon arguments pioneered by Hegel. These arguments show how thought can free itself of arbitrary foundations and establish the exclusive validity of self-determination in knowing, conduct, and aesthetic worth. Wide ranging in scope and radically subverting the reigning orthodoxies in contemporary culture, the essays of In Defense of Reason After Hegel forge a path for restoring the authority of rational autonomy in theory and practice.
