Phenomenology of spirit

Book • 1998
In 'Phenomenology of Spirit', Hegel outlines the fundamental nature and conditions of human knowledge and consciousness.

The work is structured into several categories, including consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, spirit, religion, and absolute knowing.

Hegel argues that knowledge emerges through a dialectical process where consciousness moves from sense-certainty to perception and then to understanding.

He also examines the social and collective aspects of consciousness, highlighting the struggle for recognition and the development of self-awareness.

The book culminates in the concept of absolute knowing, where the subject and object are unified, and the individual is fully integrated into the collective spirit.
