In this course, we will read and discuss Hegel's Philosophy of Subjective Spirit from the 1830Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences in Outline. We will proceed by situating Hegel's concept ofGeist(spirit) in its own philosophical and historical context. Then, we will concentrate on the main themes of Philosophy of Subjective Spirit, namely anthropology, phenomenology (a shorter and different version than the 1807Phenomenology of Spirit), and psychology. Special attention will be given to Hegel's account of feeling, thinking, and acting, drawing --where appropriate-- on contemporary resources and literature.
