A radical new assessment of Hegel revealing the problems and limitations of sociological method. Gillian Rose is among the twentieth century’s most important social philosophers. In perhaps her most significant work, Hegel Contra Sociology, Rose mounts a forceful defence of Hegelian speculative thought. Demonstrating how, in his criticisms of Kant and Fichte, Hegel supplies a preemptive critique of Weber, Durkheim, and all of the sociological traditions that stem from these “neo-Kantian” thinkers, Rose argues that any attempt to preserve Marxism from a similar critique and any attempt t

Mourning Becomes the Law is the philosophical counterpart to the late Gillian Rose’s acclaimed memoir Love’s Work. It presents a powerful and eloquent case against postmodernism, and breathes new life into the debates about power and domination, transcendence and eternity. Addressing topics such as architecture, cinema, painting, poetry, the Holocaust and Judaism, Gillian Rose enables us to connect ideas about the individual and society with theories of justice. This is philosophy for the nonphilosopher.

This original and challenging book presents a radical revision of traditional assessments of Hegel. Gillian Rose argues that the classical origins of contemporary non-Marxist and Marxist sociology rest on the -neo-Kantian’ paradigm and that Hegel’s thought anticipates and criticises the limitations of this pardaigm and the problems of methodologism and moralism in sociological method. Hegel’s major mature works are expounded in the light og his early radical writings. From this unusal perspective Dr Rose shows that Hegel’s speculative discourse is a powerful critique of
