Retsfilosofi by G. W. F. Hegel
A systematic account of law, morality, and political institutions that explains how individual freedom is actualized through social structures: it distinguishes abstract right (personhood, property, and contract), morality (the subjective will and conscience), and ethical life (Sittlichkeit), comprising family, civil society, and the modern state. The work argues that rights and duties are mediated through institutions—property, markets, corporations, administration, and law—and that genuine freedom is realized not in mere autonomy but in participation in rational ethical communities, with the state as the culminating embodiment that reconciles private interests and universal norms and organizes relations between peoples.
