Encyklopädie der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundrisse
Quick Summary
Hegel's Encyklopädie der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundrisse (1817) presents his philosophical system as a unified whole, aiming to comprehend the entire universe. The system is structured in three parts: Logic, Nature, and Mind.12
Hegel's method is dialectical, involving a process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. This cyclical progression moves from abstract to concrete, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of Absolute Spirit. The system posits that the universe is an eternal process of Absolute Spirit coming to self-knowledge through thought, nature, and finite spirits in history, art, religion, and philosophy.12
