Abstract
Among the many aspects by which Hegel’s philosophy is known, Hegel’s characterisation and defence of an inherited constitutional monarchy in its Principles of the Philosophy of Law has undoubtedly been one of the most debated issues. In view of the wide conflict between different positions, approaches and interpretations, as well as the difficulty of many of Hegel’s assertions in this regard, it can be said that the problem of the true meaning or meaning of monarchy in its philosophy is still unresolved in many respects. The purpose of this letter is not to reconstruct the most important interpretations, but rather to identify the most important perspectives or models of analysis on the basis of which they have been based. This is in order to compare them directly with Hegel’s own methodological warnings in his work and to justify, on that basis, the need to prioritise and further develop a specific perspective and way of tackling the problem. In the end, some methodological considerations and suggestions for such an analysis will be provided, which could help to find new answers or elements of interpretation in this respect.
