An introduction to the reading of Hegel intended for those 
already active in social movements. The book introduces 
Hegel’s ideas in a way which will be useful for those 
fighting for social change, and while some familiarity with 
philosophy would be an advantage for the reader, the main 
pre-requisite is a commitment to the practical pursuit of 
ideal aims. The book covers the whole sweep of Hegel’s 
writing, but focuses particularly on the Logic and Hegel’s 
social theory – the Philosophy of Right. Blunden brings to 
his exposition an original interpretation of Hegel’s Logic 
as the logic of social change, utilizing his knowledge of 
Vygotsky’s cultural psychology and Soviet Activity Theory. 
Although CHAT is hardly mentioned in this exposition of 
Hegel, being familiar with CHAT, you will recognise the 
influence of Vygotsky and Leontyev as well as Marx on my 
reading of Hegel.

The book is very expensive, so until the cheap paperback 
comes out next year, please order it from your Library or 
get a journal, magazine or website to review it and ask for 
a review copy.
