G.W.F. Hegel on Society - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 792 Society/Hegel/Honneth: Hegel, on the other hand, combines the neoclassical ethical and moral basic orientation with a genuinely modern understanding of society. The decisive factor here is a) Hegel's modern realism adopted from the English national economy, which regards the conditions of a "market-mediated production and distribution of goods" integrated by formal law(1) as conditions; b) for Hegel, the moral conditions of a society "no longer result simply from the underlying nature of the human, but from a special type of relationship between them."(2) See >Intersubjectivity/Hegel, >Morality/Hegel, >Hegel/Honneth. 1.

Frankfurt/M. 2018 - - - Höffe I 336 Society/Hegel/Höffe: Hegel [contributes] to the foundation of the modern state (...) with the (...) formulation that the human counts because he/she is a human(1). To him belong juries, a public administration of justice, the emancipation of the Jews, and tolerance of sects. Modern is also Hegel's truly profound theory of >recognition, which rightly is thought of time and again until today, though seldom renewed in its multidimensional, not merely social-theoretical significance. Monarchy: On the other hand, Hegel pleads for a (albeit constitutional) monarchy, rejects the newer understanding of popular sovereignty and allows a society structured along the lines of the estates. Democracy/Republic/Hegel: Thus [Hegel] only half legitimizes the democratic constitutional state. He only justifies the constitutional state, not the democratic, or as in Kant: the republican side. Economy: The integration of the economic world, of civil society, into legal and political theory is exemplary, as is the weight he gives to social and political institutions. 1.
