Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel(1770-1831) Presented by: Supriyatno and Mahdi Alatas
Philosophical Background • Born in Stuttgart, 1770 • Theology student in Tubingen, 1788-1793 • Forming friendship with Holderlin and Schelling • Schelling and Hegel claim that they are followers of Kant’s task. • They are transcendental philosophers: reason as a centre of examining that handle the experience. • Influenced by Fichte’s theory of dialectic
Fichte’s Theory of Dialectic • Hegel stated the logic of this very starkly, that the thesis was an affirmation ("in itself"), the antithesis was the denial ("for itself"), and the synthesis the denial of the denial ("in and for itself").
Ordinarily in logic, a double negation would be equivalent to no negation, i.e. the affirmation. • For Hegel, in thesis, antithesis, and synthesis is not limited, but aufgehoben. • Aufgehoben means: (1) put aside, (2) take care and save, not abolished, (3) placed in the higher space, thesis and antithesis is not opponent.
Hegel’s Dialectic • The most general metaphysical concept is just Being. • The denial of this is Not-Being. • The denial of the denial is then Becoming. Indeed, Becoming might be thought of as the denial of both Being and Not-Being, since it is not quite nothing but is not yet what it is going-to-be.
Three steps of Philosophy • All of world’s process are the developing of spirit. • Spirit step by step become to absolute. • First step: spirit in ‘being in itself’. It is called Logic. • Second step: spirit is difference to itself and others. Spirit depends on space and time. It is called philosophy of nature. • Third step: spirit backs to itself. It is called philosophy of spirit.
Subjective Spirit: person by person • Objective Spirit: law, moral, social, ethic; family, society, nation, and history
Absolute Spirit has three parts: art, religion, and philosophy. • Art: strained situation between subjective and objective spirit is abolished. Subjective and Objective Spirit is harmonious. • Religion; if in Art the harmony is just external or extrinsic, so in Religion the harmony is internal or intrinsic. • Philosophy; if in Religion, the absolute is bound by felling and idea, so in this part the absolute become to pure thought.
