Dialectical philosophy of Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) - an outstanding German philosopher - was born in the city of Stuttgart in the family of an official. The formation of the world outlook was influenced by the events and ideas of the Great French Revolution.

Hegel began as a continuer of the philosophy of Kant and Fichte, but soon under the influence of Schelling, from the standpoint of subjective idealism, he turned to the side of objective idealism. Hegel's philosophy was distinguished by the fact that he did not try to understand the essence of everything with it. On the contrary, all things were represented in the form of pure thinking and became a philosophy. Hegel's philosophy differs further in that he does not subordinate his worldview to an independent object (nature or God). Hegel's philosophy states that God is a mind that has achieved its absolute perfection, and nature is the sheath of dialectical reality. In the knowledge of himself he saw the essence of philosophy. A person must analyze and realize his actions.

The philosophy of Hegel was to study the dialectical method of cognition.

• As a method of cognition, he contrasted dialectics with metaphysics.
• Hegel explained the categories and laws of dialectics from the side of objective idealism.
• He revealed three principles of dialectics: a) negation-negation: b) the unity and struggle of opposites, in which contradictions are the source of development; C) the transition of quantity to quality.
• He singled out the main criteria of dialectics. This quality, measure, quantity, negation, leap, compression and others.

Dialectical philosophy of Hegel composed:

• AT The study of dialectics and the dialectical method of cognition.
• Hegel denied objective idealism.

Hegel's method is a living process that is in constant development, rationally understanding society, peace and thinking. This method is still the peak of a rational understanding of the world. A rational way of comprehending the world is a special creative act of human thought activity, which is based not on formal logic, but on the content (dialectical). It should be noted that the concept of Hegel's logic and the generally accepted notion are different.

Until the end of the nineteenth century, according to philosophy, Hegel and his views determined the movement and character of metaphysical thought. A special place in the culture of that time was occupied by both the artistic and scientific work of Hegel. A distinctive feature was the idea of perceiving the world through the unification of all living things at all levels of being, where nothing is at rest, but, on the contrary, constantly in motion.

Hegel - a great thinker, some of his ideas have not lost their relevance in our days. He had a huge impact on all thinkers in Europe, and for a long time will serve as an example for thinking people around the world. You may have a completely different opinion about his teachings, but they always have that indefinite truth that helps us understand the meaning of being. Many modern thinkers refer to Hegel's works and use his words and opinions. Thanks to dialectic philosophy, much of our world becomes understandable and correct.
