LEWIS, T. A., Religion, Modernity, and Politics in Hegel. Oxford University Press, 2011. 292p. Hardback. For two decades, there has been a vigorous debate over the claim that Hegel, far from reverting to a pre-Kantian form of metaphysics in claiming knowledge of absolute spirit, actually radicalized Kant's critique of transcendent metaphysics. Scholars who defend this claim have tested it in readings of the Logic, the Phenomenology of Spirit, and Hegel's practical philosophy. Thomas A. Lewis is the first to show that this approach can be extended to the Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, the aspect of Hegel's philosophy that appears to be most resistant to being read nonmetaphysically. The result is a major development in Hegel scholarship, and it will require historians of religious thought to rethink Hegel's relationship to his successors as well as to his predecessors. This book deserves a wide audience in philosophy, intellectual history, and religious studies.
