Georg Hegel – författare

No philosopher has held a higher opinion of art than Hegel, yet nor was any so profoundly pessimistic about its prospects - despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart and Schiller. For if the artists of classical Greece could find the perfect fusion of content and form, modernity faced complicating - and ultimately disabling - questions. Christianity, with its code of unworldliness, had compromised the immediacy of man's relationship with reality, and ironic detachment had alienated him from his deepest feelings. Hegel's Introductory Lectures on Aesthetics were delivered in Berlin in the 1820s and stand today as a passionately argued work that challenged the ability of art to respond to the modern world.

"Science of Logic" - is one of the fundamental works by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, 1770 - 1831) - German philosopher, one of the founders of the German classical philosophy, consecutive theorist of the philosophy of romanticism. The notions of the absolute idea, clear mind run through the whole Hegel''s doctrine. The logic serves for the absolute idea as the element of purity. Where the clear thought rules, there is the truth. The Science of Logic by Hegel to full extent states the purpose and the content of the absolute idea.

Georg Hegel developed a powerful philosophical system of panlogism, in which the driving force of self-improvement is pure or absolute reason. He is the perfect substance. To turn it into an absolute spirit, according to Hegel, is the task of world development. The ideas of the great German philosopher were embodied in his writings "e;The Doctrine of Being"e;, "e;The Doctrine of Essence"e;, "e;The Doctrine of the Concept"e;.
