In this volume, Vanessa Lemm and Juan Ormeño gather contributions from authors representing different philosophical outlooks and traditions, from North America, Germany, and Latin America, who respond to what Hegel could say about our contemporary concerns. These include Robert Bernasconi, Robert Pippin, Christoph Menke and Ludwig Siep, Carla Cordúa, Mariano de la Maza, Miguel Vatter and Jorge Dotti, as well as young Chilean scholars. The book introduces a series of innovative ways of reading the Phenomenology of Spirit (Section 1), as well as discussions of the theory of action and Hegelian ethico-political thought, focusing especially on the issue of recognition (Sections 2 and 3). In this respect, Bernasconi's ‘Prolegomena to any future study of the Phenomenology’, Cordúa's work on the body and Vatter's on the role of the Ancients in Hegel's political philosophy stand out. Sections 4 and 5 are aimed more directly at the question concerning the limits and possibilities of ‘updating’ Hegelian philosophy. The chapter by Angelica Nuzzo on a possible phenomenology of the contemporary world and Menke's contribution on a genealogical critique of the Phenomenology of Spirit are especially thought-provoking. The book as a whole is a major contribution to Spanish secondary literature on Hegel.
