Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: Objective Spirit
built 628 days ago
Hegel does not entirely neglect the Holy Spirit. Hegel’s rendering of the doctrine of the Church presents it as the community of the Spirit (Hegel, p. 470-489). According to Hegel the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as depicted in Acts 2, starts the community of the Spirit. Moreover, for Hegel the community is the “existing Spirit” (Hegel, p. 473). This community subsists as the Church by means of authority, doctrine, repentance, and penitence. The spirituality of the community is realized when its members embrace their vocation for freedom.

At Heidelberg Hegel was ... active in a literary domain. In 1817 he brought out the 'ENZYKLOPÄDIE DER PHILOSOPHISCHEN WISSENSCHAFTEN IM GRUNDRISSE' (1st edition 1817, expanded 2nd ed. 1827, again expanded 3rd ed. 1830, again appended with many "Zusätze" from his lectures and manuscripts in the "Freundesausgabe" of 1840, first translated into English 1959) for use at his lectures. It is the only exposition of the Hegelian system as a whole which historians possess directly from Hegel's own hand. Its first part is an abbreviated version of the earlier SCIENCE OF LOGIC, called the "ENCYCLOPAEDIA LOGIC", the "Shorter" or "Lesser Logic" (in German: "Kleine Logik", "Shorter" or "Lesser Logic" (in German: "Kleine Logik", already badly translated by W. Wallace in 1873) It is followed by the application of its principles to the Philosophy of Nature. Its third and last part consists of the Philosophy of Spirit/Mind ("Geist").

The deputies of civil society are selected by the various corporations, not on the basis of universal direct suffrage which Hegel believed inevitably leads to electoral indifference, and they adopt the point of view of society. "Deputies are sometimes regarded as 'representatives'; but they are representatives in an organic, rational sense only if they are representatives not of individuals or a conglomeration of them, but of one of the essential spheres of society and its large-scale interests. Hence, representation cannot now be taken to mean simply the substitution of one man for another; the point is that the interest itself is actually present in its representative, while he himself is there to represent the objective element of his own being" (ΒΆ 311).

According to Hegel, reality is a logical process developing in accordance with the law of coincidence of opposites. This process depends upon a fundamental triad: Idea (Logos), Nature, Spirit. This triad indicates a logical rather than a chronological succession, for the entire process is actuated within the primordial Spirit, in which all is immanent.

Since 1990, new aspects of Hegel's philosophy have been published that were not typically seen in the West. One example is the idea that the essence of Hegel's philosophy is the idea of freedom. With the idea of freedom, Hegel attempts to explain world history, fine art, political science, the free thinking that is science, the attainment of spirituality, and the resolution to problems of metaphysics.

Hegel's most representative philosophical works are: Phenomenology of Spirit; Logic; and Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences. German Idealism and modern thought, generally speaking, reach the greatest heights of immanentism in the compact dialectic system of Hegel.
