THE LOGIC OF HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF RIGHT AS OF PHILOSOPHY OF PRACTICAL

Abstract

What we understand as the logic of Hegel’s philosophy of right refers on the one hand to (1) the idea of the good=the practical idea=action, an act as a practice. On the other hand, it refers to (2) the method, i.e. the absolute idea which, according to Hegel, realizes the practical idea in a true way. Without a more direct insight in the phenomenological and logical path of consciousness to the absolute knowledge and absolute idea, as we will demonstrate, for Hegel philosophy of right does not have its “own” practical method. The practical idea, on the contrary, could be defined by the absolute idea, so that for Hegel the absolute idea is the method of philosophy of right.
