Hegelian Philosophy - Dialectical Idealism, logic, and phenomenology of Spirit
Abstract Right is the first chapter of Hegel's Philosophy of Right: the “inherently single will of a subject” confronting an external world. “Hence the imperative of right is: 'Be a person and respect others as persons.'” thus Hegel explains that having rights is at the very root of being a person; a “thing, as something devoid of will, has no rights against the subjectivity of intelligence and volition”
The most fundamental expression of right, according to Hegel, is the giving of particularity to right in the form of a thing, i.e. in the form of Property and possession.
