Hegel and the Logical Structure of LoveAn Essay on Sexualities, Family and the Law\nAuthor(s): Toula Nicolacopoulos, George Vassilacopoulos\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138317208, 978-1138317208\nSynopsis\nFirst published in 1999, this is an interesting and significantly valuable example of how Hegels Logic can be applied to his own interpretation of his time to produce a contemporary Hegelian view of our world and its problems. The authors show that by the logic of the family, as conceived by Hegal, contemporary views about same sec and single parent families can be justified and defunded. The male-dominance and heterosexual orientation taken for granted by Hegals own world is not mandated by the Logic. I find their argument completely convincing. They demonstrate beyond dispute that Hegels speculative philosophy remains relevant for us, a very fruitful in its applications.
