The notes from Heidegger’s seminar on Hegel’s Philosophy of Right are an indispensable source for any serious understanding of Heidegger’s relation to National Socialism as well as his conception of politics more generally. Readers of Andrew Mitchell’s excellent translation are fortunate that in this volume they will find half a dozen thoughtful essays to guide them through this important but enigmatic text.
