Hassanaly Ladha brilliantly demonstrates that the central role of aesthetics in Hegel's political philosophy extends to his concepts of freedom and subjectivity, allowing for a new reading of the master-slave dialectic and of 'Africa' itself. The book offers crucial new developments that should radically influence all debates on slavery and Africa at the time of the Enlightenment, as well as post-colonial investigations., "Hassalany Ladha brilliantly demonstrates that the central role of aesthetics in Hegel's political philosophy extends to his concepts of freedom and subjectivity, allowing for a new reading of the slave/master dialectics and of "Africa" itself.

Synopsis
Positioned at the intersection of philosophy and African studies, this book identifies Hegel's "Africa" as a fluid, utopic space enabling the traversal of the East-West binary. As Hegel's figure for the non-historical, Africa marks the negativity that propels the movement of the dialectic in time. Mirroring the "shrouded" continent's relation to history, Kantian "architectonics" step out of the realm of logic in Hegelian thought and drive the historical unfolding of the aesthetic. In a foundational move, Hegel hypostatizes the aesthetic entanglement of built and linguistic form as the colossus of Memnon, an African warrior memorialized in ancient architecture, myth, and art. Reaching for freedom, the Memnon marks the architectonic modality through which the African slave, at the telos of history, will fulfill the spiritual promise of the human and bring about the politically mature state. The book examines the syncretic figure of the Memnon and slave across Hegel's lecture courses, the Phenomenology of Spirit , the Encyclopedia , and the Philosophy of Right , offering a new reading of his related theories of language and the aesthetic, mastery and servitude, and subjectivity and the state and calling for a reassessment of these concepts in African studies and other philosophically informed disciplines. This book will be of interest to scholars in philosophy, postcolonial and African studies, political theory, architecture, and historiography., Through a radical reading of Hegel's oeuvre, The Architecture of Freedom sets forth a theory of open borders centered on a new interpretation of the German philosopher's related conceptions of language and the aesthetic, mastery and servitude, and subjectivity and the state. The book's argument turns on Hegel's identification of "Africa" as a fluid, utopic space enabling the traversal of the East-West binary. As Hegel's figure for the non-historical, Africa emerges as the negativity that propels the movement of the dialectic in time. Mirroring the "shrouded" continent's relation to history, Kantian "architectonics" step out of the realm of logic in Hegelian thought and drive the historical unfolding of the aesthetic. In a foundational move, Hegel hypostatizes the aesthetic entanglement of built and linguistic form as the colossus of Memnon, an African warrior memorialized in ancient architecture, myth, and art. Reaching for freedom, the Memnon marks the architectonic modality through which the African slave, at the telos of history, will fulfill the spiritual promise of the human and bring about the politically mature state. The book examines the syncretic figure of the Memnon and slave across Hegel's lecture courses, the Phenomenology of Spirit , the Encyclopedia , and the Philosophy of Right . Ultimately the book calls for a reassessment of a range of Hegelian philosophemes across disciplines in the humanities. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in philosophy, postcolonial and African studies, political theory, architecture, and historiography., A radical reassessment not only of Hegel's oeuvre and legacy, but also of contemporary postcolonial political theory rooted ultimately in Hegel's work, discussing his thought in relation to colonialism, post-colonialism, and anti-colonialism.
