At the heart of the works of Kant and Hegel lies an intimate relationship between theory and practice, ideas and action, argumentation and progress, principles and politics, philosophy and the world. In short, Kant and Hegel are convinced of the social and political power of ideas.

In this paper, explore the relationship between human thought (i.e., philosophy, theory, ideas, moral and ethical principles, religious discourses, etc.) and the human world (i.e., present and past social and political realities, historical progress, etc.). CONCRETELY, what are the authors positions on theory and practice, philosophy and politics, values and action, and what do you think of the strengths, weaknesses, uses, or dangers of their arguments? *This essay MUST NOT merely summarize each authors arguments. Instead: *Organize your essay around a thesis statementthat is, a particular position you would like to explore, develop, and/or defend. You must reflect on what YOU think about the works and what YOU would like to say, argue, explore in this paper related to Kant and Hegel and the relationship between theory and practice. In this essay you must (a) analyze and explicate the relevant arguments with clarity and precision and with reference to key terms and concepts. Also, you must (b) provide a critique of what you think is right and wrong about the authors arguments. Be argumentative and take a position. What, in the writings of Kant and Hegel, is more or less convincing and/or useful? Why? Organize the paper in whatever way enables you to accomplish your goals. I suggest you restrict your sources to assigned readings (primary source material), class notes, and discussions. ASSESSMENT: I assess your work on two levels: First, is an examination component, requiring you to demonstrate a precise reading and careful study of the texts. Use text from G.W.F Hegel: Political Writings a) General Introduction written by Laurence Dickey (pp. vii xli). b) The Magistrates Should Be Elected by the People (pp. 1 5). c) Inaugural Address, Delivered at the University of Berlin (pp. 181 185). a) Lectures on the Philosophy of History (pp. 197 224).
