Shashikant Dr. Prashanta Chakravarty M.A. English (I Semester) 2nd November 2015 The Aesthetics of Kant and Hegel The theories of art put forward by Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and G.W.F. Hegel (1770-1831) have long been seen to represent two rival positions which nonetheless arise from a distinctive tradition of German philosophy. In both cases, a concern with problems of art and beauty represents only one part of their respective philosophical systems

G.W.F. Hegel made enormous contribution to the development of the concept of ‘alienation’ in discursive terms. Hegel’s The Phenomenolgy of Mind elucidates the concept of ‘alienation’ and ‘self-alienated spirit’ which however here have consequences far more significant and opposite to the generalized concept of ‘alienation’. He bases his account of the development of human spirit and human self-development on the premise of the concept of alienation. To Hegel, the “self is a historical and social

German philosophers Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 – 1831) and Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) have traditionally been viewed as polar opposites in terms of their philosophy. Hegel has been dubbed an idealist and a systematic philosopher who identified various different types of History, theoretical entities and concepts. Nietzsche, on the other hand, is seen to be a counter-Enlightenment and counter-systematic philosopher who penned the well-known text, ‘Genealogy of Morals’. In this essay

Gorge Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was born in the year 27th August, 1770, in Stuttgart, Germany. He studied philosophies and classics at Tubingen. He was a tutor and an editor and explored theology after his graduation. “The Phanomenologie des Geistes” (The Phenomenology of Sprit) was his first work being published in 1807. He was the person who propounded the ‘Dialectical method’. Which is usually in a three stages namely thesis (giving rise to its reaction), antithesis (negates the thesis) and the

Understanding the key terms used by philosophers allows the reader to get a sense of the depth of knowledge the author is portraying. Hegel had quite the vocabulary and recollecting on the meaning of the words used in his writings creates a sense of connection to the author in the sense of being able to attach meaning to words as the author intended. Furthermore, Hegel had his own methods of obtaining knowledge about the world in which we live. There are three steps that involve becoming aware of the

Wars, death, and other acts of violence have all been part of a process to attain true freedom. However, what is true freedom? John Stuart Mill and Georg Hegel tackle this notion of freedom. Mills states that freedom is when individuals have unlimited liberty, while Hegel says that is a false freedom. He states that freedom is when the individual’s morals align with external laws within the nation state. Despite what many say freedom is more similar in Hegel’s and Mills than different. We can see

CHAPTER SIX GENERAL DIALECTICS–REGIONAL DIALECTICS. KARL MARX 1. Continuities and Discontinuities between Marx and Hegel The relationship between the two authors is more complex than it may seem at a first glance. Marx claims, indeed, that his theory overturns Hegel's doctrine from the Philosophy of Right. However, at a closer look, and we will argue this thesis below, Marx is more Hegelian than he thought himself. Unlike the neo-Kantians from Baden, who refused, from the beginning, the absolute

dialectic Fanon - Black Skin White Masks Black Skin and Hegel Self Consciousness “In this experience self-consciousness learns that life is essential to it as pure self-consciousness. One (self-consciousness) is self-sufficient; for it, its essence is being-for-itself. The other is non-self-sufficient, for it, life, that is, being for an other, is the essence. The former is the master, the latter is the servant” (Hegel 189). Hegel suggests in the dialectic that there is coherence between subject

The Philosophies of Georg Hegel and Herbert Spencer The Philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Hegel (1770-1801) Metaphysics      Georg Wilhelm Hegel aspired to find a philosophy that would embody all human experiences with the integration of not only science, but also religion, history, art, politics and beyond. Hegel’s metaphysical theory of absolute idealism claimed that reality was the absolute truth of all logic, spirit, and rational ideas encompassing all human experience and

Right away from his analysis regarding the master-slave dialectic, Hegel extensively explains the development of consciousness from the struggle of two conflicting individuals during their first encounter, where in the long run one must achieve life and freedom (Hegel, 1807). In the context of explaining the principle of self-consciousness, it will be seen that Hegel relies on the essence of the dialectic where he asserts the same as the motion or movement of recognizing
