In a world with so many Hegels it can sometimes be very hard to find the real one. Borna Radnik makes a very compelling case for a radical interpretation of the Prussian polymath: the defender of freedom and struggle within history. An extraordinary work of scholarship, Freedom in Context makes a vital contribution to the debates around Hegel's legacy and marks the long awaited debut of a major new philosopher.

Borna Radnik's Freedom, in Context marks a breakthrough in the understanding of freedom. Through a spellbinding reading of Hegel, Radnik reveals how freedom always emerges in a context and yet carries a universal bearing that defies context. Hegel here becomes the philosopher of freedom not in spite
of, but because of, his commitment to the exploration of historical context. Radnik's book puts into practice Hegel's own dialectical method as a way to make sense of Hegel himself.
