About<\/strong><\/h3>

Arash Abazari specializes in 19th-century German philosophy, with a particular focus on Hegel. His first book, Hegel\u2019s Ontology of Power: The Structure of Social Domination in Capitalism<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(Cambridge University Press, 2020), interprets the \u201clogic of essence\u201d in Hegel\u2019s Science of Logic<\/em> as a critical theory of capitalist society. The book was the subject of an Author Meets Critique<\/em><\/a> panel in Hegel Bulletin<\/em> (2022, 43(2)) and has been extensively reviewed in scholarly journals. In addition to Hegel, Abazari has published on Marx, Fichte, Kant, and the Frankfurt School. His current long-term research investigates the nature of political agency through the lens of the German philosophical tradition. As part of this project, he is currently working on a monograph on Georg Luk\u00e1cs\u2019s theory of emancipatory politics. He is the recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2022\u201324) and an ACLS\/Mellon Fellowship (2015\u201316).<\/p>
