While the third chapter addresses Hegel’s notion of intellectual property, the appendix deepens the analysis of the Philosophy of Right. The aim of this endeavour is to provide a more thorough exegesis of vital categories developed by Hegel, which are crucial to understanding Hegel’s concepts of property and intellectual property. Not only are the categories of right, free will, property, and contract elucidated, but the notion of private property appears fundamental to Hegel’s idea of freedom. While Chap. 3 revealed the paradoxical character of intellectual property, the appendix’s investigation of alienation as a Hegelian necessary and positive moment of freedom provides concrete contour to this issue that, until today, is paramount to the capitalist notion of private property and freedom.
