Why, according to Hegel, do agents have a right of necessity (Notrecht)? And what does the existence
December 16th, 2022
Prompt: please write a two-page paper answering the following question
Why, according to Hegel, do agents have a right of necessity (Notrecht)? And what does the existence of
this right show about the relation between right and welfare? (§127, §127R, §127A)
Comments
Note that the prompt asks you to reconstruct Hegel’s argument for the existence of a right of necessity.
In answering the question, you will of course want to explain what the “right of necessity” is — what it is a
right to, what it means to say that it is a “right,” and why it is called a “right of necessity.”
Be sure to answer both parts of the questions posed in the prompt.
Note that in order to answer the question you need to locate the argument Hegel gives for the “right of
necessity” in the larger contextual context in which it appears. What is the larger question Hegel is
discussing in adverting to the “right of necessity”?
Do not forget to refer to the text (i.e., the book) you are explicating and the section of the book (i.e. the part
of the Philosophy of Right) you are discussing in the main body of your paper.
Format
1. Paper should have a title
2. Please include the word count of your paper
3. Papers must (i) have a separately displayed thesis (below the title and above the body of the paper) and
(ii) include an objective sentence (in the first paragraph). The thesis may also presented (a second time) in
the first paragraph.
A thesis is a succinct one-sentence answer to the assigned questions.
An objective sentence states what you intend to do in the paper.
‘Succinct’ means brief. Theses should be short and snappy.
Nb. A thesis (objective sentence) is not an abstract or a description of the organization of the paper. Papers
should not include an abstract. A description of the organization of the paper is unnecessary in a two-page
paper.
4. There is no need (or room) for an elaborate introductory paragraph in a two page paper. Don’t waste
time setting up the context. Go directly to a statement of your objective and your thesis.
5. There is no need (or room!) for a concluding paragraph in a two-page paper.
6. There is no fixed number of paragraphs the paper should be. There is nothing magic about the number five. Papers should probably have at least three paragraphs per page.
6. Papers should be formatted as two separate pages. They should be double-spaced, have a standard font,
and standard margins. No cheating on length.
Advice/Instruction
1. Your thesis should be illuminating.
2. You must defend (provide an argument for) your thesis.
3. Your paper should be organized around the thesis. Everything in the paper should develop, explain, illustrate, support, and elaborate the contents of your thesis.
4. Be maximally clear and maximally explicit. Clarify, clarify, clarify. Explain, explain, explain. Make sure the thoughts in your head get on the page. Read your paper aloud and see if the ideas you meant to include actually made it on to the page.
