• En quoi la dialectique de Hegel est révolutionnaire
  12 juin 2018, par Karob, Max

  En quoi la dialectique de Hegel est révolutionnaire ?
  La première des caractéristiques de la dialectique, dans sa version hégélienne, est l’image qu’elle donne du « changement qualitatif ». Jusque là, l’essentiel de ceux qui affirmaient l’existence de sauts dans la logique du monde ne faisaient appel qu’aux miracles divins et aux actions brutales des prétendues « forces » bénéfiques et maléfiques.
  La caractéristique de la plupart des philosophies précédentes, mystiques ou pas, était leur (…)

  Hegel’s Lectures on the History of Philosophy
  Introduction
  A. The Notion of the History of Philosophy.
  THE thought which may first occur to us in the history of Philosophy, is that the subject itself contains an inner contradiction. For Philosophy aims at understanding what is unchangeable, eternal, in and for itself: its end is Truth. But history tells us of that which has at one time existed, at another time has vanished, having been expelled by something (…)

  Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature
  Analytical Table of Contents Preliminary
  § 192 Nature has presented itself as the idea in the form of otherness. § 193 Hence nature exhibits no freedom in its existence, but only necessity and contingency. § 194 Nature is to be viewed as a system of stages, in which one stage necessarily arises from the other. § 195 Nature is, in itself a living whole. § 196 The idea as nature can be named mathematics, (…)

  Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy in General
  Karl Marx - 1844
  This is perhaps the place at which, by way of explanation and justification, we might offer some considerations in regard to the Hegelian dialectic generally and especially its exposition in the Phänomenologie and Logik and also, lastly, the relation (to it) of the modern critical movement.[42]
  So powerful was modern German criticism’s preoccupation with the past – so completely was its development entangled with the (…)

  Introduction
  Part I: The Oriental World
  We have to begin with the Oriental World, but not before the period in which we discover States in it. The diffusion of Language and the formation of races lie beyond the limits of History. History is prose, and myths fall short of History. The consciousness of external definite existence only arises in connection with the power to form abstract distinctions and assign abstract predicates; and in proportion as a capacity for expressing Laws (of (…)

• Hegel a-t-il raison de dire que « Tout ce qui est réel est rationnel » ?
  21 décembre 2013, par Robert Paris

  Hegel a-t-il raison de dire que « Tout ce qui est réel est rationnel » ?
  « Tout ce qui est réel est rationnel », cette portion fameuse de phrase a été tiraillée en tous sens, commentée de part en part, au point qu’on peut se demander pourquoi on chercherait encore à lui faire dire… ce qu’elle ne disait pas. Car, effectivement, la plupart des commentateurs, qu’ils l’approuvent ou la réprouvent, ne font que commenter un texte qu’Hegel n’a pas écrit.
  Et tout d’abord car, philosophe, il (…)

  Part III: The Roman World
  Napoleon, in a conversation which he once had with Goethe on the nature of Tragedy, expressed the opinion that its modern phase differed from the ancient, through our no longer recognizing a Destiny to which men are absolutely subject, and that Policy occupies the place of the ancient Fate [La politique est fatalité]. This therefore he thought must be used as the modern form of Destiny in Tragedy – the irresistible power of circumstances to which individuality (…)

  Karl Marx - Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
  Introduction
  For Germany, the criticism of religion has been essentially completed, and the criticism of religion is the prerequisite of all criticism.
  The profane existence of error is compromised as soon as its heavenly oratio pro aris et focis [“speech for the altars and hearths,” i.e., for God and country] has been refuted. Man, who has found only the reflection of himself in the fantastic reality of heaven, where he sought a (…)

• Friedrich Hegel, The Critical Philosophy
  6 March 2018

  §40
  In common with Empiricism the Critical Philosophy assumes that experience affords the one sole foundation for cognitions; which however it does not allow to rank as truths, but only as knowledge of phenomena.
  The Critical theory starts originally from the distinction of elements presented in the analysis of experience, viz. the matter of sense, and its universal relations. Taking into account Humes’s criticism on this distinction as given in the preceding section, viz. that sensation (…)
