DEFINITION OF THE OBJECTIVE SPIRIT THROUGH THE RELATION TO THE SUBJECTIVE AND THE ABSOLUTE SPIRIT

Abstract

On the basis of the negative impulse of more widespread tendency to eradicate philosophy and to separate it from its best traditions, this article tries to define the concept that is suspected to deal with something that is almost an illusion, something that actually does not exist. It is about Being of the spirit. In Hegel’s understanding, however, not only that it is not an illusion, but the concept and Being of the spirit as the objective is the absolute substance of one whose existence no one would deny, and that is the man’s world. If one assumes that the concept of the objective spirit could be reached only through the gripping of the definition, and that only afterwards critical attitude could be taken up and the concept could be put in the development and mediation, then the explication of this concept through three definitions has been set as the immediate aim of the article: defining of the spirit in relation to nature, defining the objective spirit in relation to the subjective spirit and defining the objective spirit in relation to the absolute spirit following Hegel.
