This course is dedicated to Hegel's philosophy of Geist, which is often translated in English as "spirit," "mind," or "collective cultural mindset." However, the full meaning of Geist in Hegel's philosophy comprises a more fine-grained and richer development of affective, psychological, and practical elements. Drawing on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit as well as on the sections on the Philosophy of Spirit of Hegel's Encyclopaedia, this course will explore the main philosophical questions that surround the dimension of Geist in both Hegel's philosophy and contemporary debates, including Hegel's departure from transcendental philosophy and the nature-spirit relation, the novelty of Hegel's philosophical anthropology, the problem of recognition, and the quest for absolute knowledge.
