"This book discusses the most comprehensive of Hegel's works: his long-neglected Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Outline. It contains original essays by internationally renowned and emerging voices in Hegel scholarship. Their contributions elucidate fundamental aspects of Hegel's encyclopedic system with an eye to its contemporary relevance. The book thus addresses system-level claims about Hegel's unique conceptions of philosophy, philosophical "science" and its method, dialectic, speculative thinking, and the way they relate to both Hegelian and contemporary notions of nature, history, religion, freedom, and cultural praxis"--

"This book focuses on the interpretations of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit that have proven influential over the past decades. Current readers of Hegel's Phenomenology face an abundance of interpretive literature devoted to this difficult text and confront a plethora of different philosophical presuppositions, research strategies and hermeneutic efforts.To enable better orientation within the interpretative landscape, the essays in this volume summarize, contextualize and critically comment on the issues and currents in contemporary Phenomenology scholarship. There is a common set of three questions that each of the contributions seeks to answer: (1) What kind of text is the Phenomenology of Spirit? (2) What do the different strategies of interpretation conceptually bring to the text? (3) How do different interpreters justify their verdict on whether the Phenomenology is still a viable project?"--

While Kantian constructivism has become one of the most influential and systematic schools of thought in analytic moral and political philosophy, Hegelian approaches to practical normativity hold out the promise of building upon Kantian insights into individual self-determination while avoiding their dualistic tendencies. James Gledhill and Sebastian Stein unite distinguished scholars of German idealism and contemporary Anglophone practical philosophy with rising stars in the field, to explore whether Hegelian idealist philosophy can offer the categories that analytic practical philosophy requires to overcome the contradictions that have so far plagued Kantian constructivism. The volume organizes the contributions into three parts. The first of these engages debates in metaethics regarding the relationship between realism and constructivism. The second part sees contributors draw on debates about the nature of political normativity, focusing primarily on the problems of historical contextualism, relativism, and critical reflection. The concluding part considers the application of the Hegelian framework to contemporary debates about specific ethical issues, including multiculturalism, democracy, and human rights. Hegel and Contemporary Practical Philosophy contributes to the on-going debate about the importance of systematic philosophy in the context of practical philosophy, engages with contemporary discussions about the shape of a rational social order, and gauges the timeliness of Hegelian philosophy. This book is a must readfor scholars interested in Hegel and in the contemporary tradition of Kantian constructivism in moral and political philosophy.

This report is a response to the call for evidence from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles on the future of connected and automated mobility in the UK. Executive Summary:Despite relative weaknesses in global collaboration and co-creation platforms, smart road and communication infrastructure, urban planning, and public awareness, the United Kingdom (UK) has a substantial strength in the area of Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) by investing in research and innovation platforms for developing the underlying technologies, creating impact, and co-creation leading to innovative solutions. Many UK legal and policymaking initiatives in this domain are world leading. To sustain the UK's leading position, we make the following recommendations:• The development of financial and policy-related incentive schemes for research and innovation in the foundations and applications of autonomous systems as well as schemes for proof of concepts, and commercialisation.• Supporting policy and standardisation initiatives as well as engagement and community-building activities to increase public awareness and trust.• Giving greater attention to integrating CAM/Connected Autonomous Shared Electric vehicles (CASE) policy with related government priorities for mobility, including supporting active transport and public transport, and improving air quality.• Further investment in updating liability and risk models and coming up with innovative liability schemes covering the Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) ecosystem.• Investing in training and retraining of the work force in the automotive, mobility, and transport sectors, particularly with skills concerningArtificial Intelligence (AI), software and computer systems, in order to ensure employability and an adequate response to the drastically changing industrial landscape
