Reinterprets Hegel as a thinker grounded in Christian mystical and Trinitarian theology, showing how his philosophy integrates esoteric religious traditions with a sweeping metaphysical account of divine and spiritual development.
The Heterodox Hegel opens a new horizon in the study of Hegel by uncovering the mystical and Trinitarian foundations of his thought. For the first time, readers can explore Hegel not only as a philosopher of logic and history but also as a thinker deeply engaged with the esoteric currents of Christian mysticism, a dimension long overlooked by scholarship.
Through meticulous textual analysis, Cyril O'Regan traces Hegel's intellectual journey across the epochs of the divine, from the immanent Trinity through creation, incarnation, and the kingdom of the Spirit, culminating in a comprehensive narrative of spiritual and speculative transformation. The Heterodox Hegel demonstrates how Hegel's philosophy of religion, deeply embedded in mystical theology, continues to illuminate enduring questions of divinity, community, and metaphysical truth.
Featuring an erudite foreword by Louis Dupré, extensive notes, and an exhaustive bibliography, The Heterodox Hegel is essential reading for philosophers, theologians, and scholars seeking to understand Hegel in the fullness of his mystical and metaphysical vision.
