While obtaining a copy, I never really took interest in this volume until I recently noticed some paper titled German Constitution is also included in it. Having read the outline of the General introduction, now I see that I've been missing a very important piece of scholarship.

While knowing about the general outline of the Philosophy of Right, I never took care to notice these texts, which are still very relevant.

My copy of the book is titled "I'd Let Them Rot" and not "Let Them Rot". It might seem like a minor difference, but it's the one between opinion and injunction.

This variation of the title seems like a Kantian categorical imperative, while adding "I would" seems more like a personal preference, oddity or a quirk, which might be completely irrelevant.

There is a huge difference between Kreonic order and Antigone.

I've only read the introduction so far, but still am immensely impressed by the feat this work was set up to achieve. I plan on reading both parts in their entirety in the forthcoming months with a reading done on a daily basis, and if I succeed, a detailed review of the work should follow on my blog. I am even considering making a personal translation of the book into Slovenian, but that will have to wait.
