On Hegel's Platonism

Lucia M. Palmer

pp. 77-82

Abstract

Anglo-American students of Hegel owe a debt of gratitude to J.N. Findlay. Although on the Continent re-evaluation of Hegel's doctrines has proceeded continuously, fluidity of interpretation seldom characterizes the Anglo-American scholarship. In England Hegel has been made known and rejected through the great systems of Bradley and Bosanquet. That Hegel was a transcendent metaphysician, a subjectivist in epistemology, and a manic rationalist is a cherished idol in the English marketplace, and a story many times told. The fruits of Findlay's demythologization of Hegel are harvested in his various articles and volumes which have punctuated Hegelian scholarship over the past twenty years.
