![]() Otherness and pure self-consciousness are involved in a “fight to the death” for recognition. This is the famous struggle for recognition. In other words, one becomes aware of oneself through the eyes of another. Self-awareness is the awareness of another self-consciousness. But Hegel goes further and says that the subjects are also objects to other subjects. In the tradition of idealists, Hegel posits that awareness of objects necessarily implies a certain self-consciousness, ie separation between the subject and the perceived object. Hegel moves his analysis of consciousness in general to self-awareness. Phenomenology of Spirit, Chapter 4: Self-Awareness Consciousness is thus placed in a learning process, which is the third and highest form of consciousness. ![]() The mismatch between the senses and categories creates a sense of uncertainty, frustration leads to skepticism, that is to say, the suspension of judgment. Our senses tell us about the world and the categories make sense in the world. With perception, consciousness, in its search for certainty, uses categories of thought, and language.Ĭonsciousness is always pulled in two different directions. This requirement leads to the second mode of consciousness, perception. This pulse is hampered by the requirement of universal concepts, ie that different people can understand these concepts. The individual act designates a first moment, that of sense-certainty, refers to the attempt of the mind to grasp the nature of a thing. In fact, according to Hegel, there is a tension between the individual act of knowing and the universality of concepts related to this act. While Kant has an individualistic vision of knowledge, Hegel asks a component to collective knowledge. He argues that the mind does not understand objects in the world, according to Kant, for whom knowledge is not knowledge of “things in themselves”. Hegel attempts to define the nature and conditions of human knowledge in the first three chapters. Phenomenology of Spirit, Chapters 1-3: Consciousness It as a challenge to sum up this huge work. For more details, see the article on the history in Hegel. The historical approach: the realization of reason, through the spirit, religion and absolute knowledge (Chapters 6-8).A-historical approach: the adventures of consciousness and the transition to self-awareness (Chapters 1-5).The Phenomenology of Spirit is structured in two stages: This dialectical method will be decisive in the history of philosophy and influence Husserl, Sartre and especially Marx, who thinks the economic and social history in terms of the Hegelian dialectic. The method developed by Hegel is that the dialectic of contradictions and exceed via a new phase of the synthesis. The difficulty of this book lies in its language, arduous, as Hegel had to create a new terminology to escape the idealistic semantics used by Kant. Through Phenomenology, he will form a closed philosophical system, which aims to cover the whole of human existence, to answer all the questions about man, the world and God. Hegel, who began to write this essay to twenty-seven years, attempts to describe and define all the dimensions of human experience: knowledge, perception, consciousness and subjectivity, social interactions, culture, history, morality and religion. This science of phenomena aims to capture the essence of things in the world. Hegel’s philosophy is a phenomenology insofar as he looks at the world as it appears to consciousness. The Phenomenology of Spirit is thus the history of consciousness in the lived world. From this intuition, Hegel traces the epic adventure of the consciousness through its various stages, the evolution of consciousness, from sensitive consciousness to the absolute spirit. The Phenomenology of Spirit by Hegel, published in 1807, is based on a precious philosophical intuition: consciousness is not an completed institution, it is constructed, transformed to become other than itself.
