Research On The Theory Of Recognition In Hegel's Philosophy

Hegel's"Theory of Recognition"refers to this theory, which progresses and establishes itself form the"Special Self-consciousness"to"Universal Self-consciousness", it involves the continuous generalization of Self-consciousness to start the process, and deeps into the"Objective Spirit"as"Law, Morality and Ethics". The aim is to achieve the independence and freedom of human being. Thus Hegel's"Theory of Recognition"is not only related to the doctrine of"Consciousness", but also in relation to the core issues in Hegel's Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Law and Religious Philosophy.The introduction of this dissertation points out the position of his Philosophy of Ethics and the basic routes, and explicitly limits with five aspects to explain the"logical basis", interpret"the early Theory of Recognition", elucidate"the Theory of Recognition in Phenomenology of Mind", explain"the Theory of Recognition in the concepts of Spirit (Geist) and Political, Legal notions", and its relationship with Marx's Philosophy. To explain the"logical basis"is for the Theory of Recognition to find a logical starting point and the rational underlying fulcrum; To interpret"the early Theory of Recognition"is to shows the interpretation of Hegel's early theological, speculative philosophy and ethical system and to clarify its evolution and development of ideas; To elucidate"the Theory of Recognition in Phenomenology of Mind"is based on the core text of the discussion of this theory point to the basic concepts and theories in the spirit and concept of the recognition of political and legal theory, it also shows us the highlight of implementation of this theory around"Objective Spirit"in"Law, Morality and Ethics". And at last it concludes with a discussion of the difference between Marx and Hegel in their Theories of Recognition. It lays on two aspects of"Labor"and"Struggle"to discuss. This paper discusses the sub-chapters one by one according to this clue.The first chapter deals with Hegel's basic road of the Theory of Recognition, and reveals three theoretical aspects containing in it. First, Hegel's Theory of Recognition overcomes the inherent difficulties of the Subjective Philosophy; Secondly, this theory suggests that the transition from the Individual Consciousness to Universal Self-consciousness. The last shows this theory as a unity of the opposites of Struggle and Reconciliation. Around the first part of this paper, it focuses on the main inherent difficulties in Subjective Philosophy, Dialectic of Enlightenment and its other contents. The results show that the Dialectic of Enlightenment reveals the confusion in the self-assurance of Subject, individuality and integrity, and the lack of particularity and universality inherent tension between the reality and the political system, it is lack of effective implementation. Around the second part, The Theory of Recognition achieves a sense of individual style from the list to the interaction of the main transformation of the universal Self-consciousness."Dual Self-consciousness"as the Theory of Recognition is the basic starting point, on the one hand, it reflects the special individual pursuit of Universal Self-consciousness in Struggle; the other hand, due to"Self-consciousness", it is itself free to include a"Self and Other"in whole unity. Therefore, they reflect the Spirit which comes from the Absolute Reason's reconciliation. Finally, it leads the Theory of Recognition to the conception of Freedom and its two basic forms, namely as a"Struggle"and"Reconciliation"of the dual mode. This theory can be described as one of the two sides. It can be said as"the Struggle for Recognition". The essence of the theory is the subject of Reconciliation between the Rational Person.The following chapters seek to focus on the Theory of Recognition in three basic aspects to start on:The second chapter deals with Hegel's"early Theory of Recognition". It first discusses the"Theology of the early period", abandoning the principal philosophy of religion is reflected in the Subjective and Objective analysis; Individual Consciousness to Universal Consciousness reflected the transition of"Love and Life"in religious theological discussion;"the Theory of Recognition"in the struggle side of the expression for the"Crime and Punishment"analysis, Reconciliation sex is based on"Love"in practice to achieve the emotional body of man and God and the relationship between Recognition. This is for mature period of the Theory of Recognition, it laid the basic ideas and text based. Followed by a brief discussion of Hegel's early"Speculative Philosophy", it was first built under the Theory of Recognition, and its transition to the Spiritual Reality of the Ethical Philosophy of Life to pave the way. Finally, the dissertation discussed Hegel's"Jena Philosophy"and its criticism of Natural law, which involves Hegel's early social philosophy and philosophy of law. Discussion shows that the early Hegel's Theory of Recognition despite follows the Practical Philosophy of Kant and Fichte's Ethical System and shows the impact of natural law, but its structure has been formed his special Speculative System of Philosophy, and starts to break the atomic personal ethics and turns to the Absolute Reality of the System of Ethical Life on the structure.The third chapter, the Theory of Recognition in Phenomenology of Mind is first based on"Conscious experience"( or"Spiritual Phenomena") to study it in a genetic way. In order to avoid the Subjective Philosophy, it is not based on principle of universality of individual thinking and the resulting static formalism of morality, but on the Conscious Experience, to get a comprehensive view of overall layout in the"Phenomenology of Mind". Secondly, the theme of"the dual nature of Self-consciousness"leads to a core expression of his Theory of Recognition and basic theory of meaning. It shows itself from the realized Self-Consciousness, the individual awareness of the Universal Consciousness, and reason to the basic spirit of the speculative mode. Finally, the"Struggle"reflected as"Master-slave Dialectic"and "Dialectics of Will", which are the core contents in the Theory of Recognition, which also shows the"Labor"in the positive aspects of the theory of Self-Consciousness through the discussion of"Ration"and"Spirit". The Theory of Recognition is the to"Ethical World"transition.Chapter IV discusses Hegel's Theory of Recognition in the Philosophy of Spirit, in the basic content, in"Objective Spirit"("Philosophy") of the political and legal concepts. Around the Theory of Recognition, the ration underlies in three links, the first sort goes back to Hegel's 1803 / 4 years of the"First Philosophy of Spirit"in his speculative philosophy, and reveals the spirit of the ethical philosophy of life under the basic framework of the system. This is the main philosophy of criticism, more typically the Morality into the Ethical Life (Sittelichkeit). Secondly, in the Philosophy of Spirit of the Encyclopedia System, the Theory of Recognition discusses Hegel's position in the speculative philosophy, and its relationship with the Philosophy of Nature and Science of Logic,"Jesus takes the logic"and the book is based on the logic, which leads to the"Absolute Spirit"theory, in order to introduce the discussion of Subjective Spirit; then they are as a Theory of Recognition and Subjective Spirit, Objective Spirit and Absolute Spirit of the intrinsic association, and deeps into the"Ethical Entity"of the"Law, Morality and Ethics". The Theory of Recognition and Absolute Spirit are in the relationship with"Art, Religion and Philosophy". In the absolute height of the review, the Theory of Recognition is really as Spiritual Life of inter-subjectivity. Finally, this chapter also outlines the Theory of Recognition of political and legal concepts, focused on Theory of Recognition of Right in political philosophy and the concept of freedom in philosophy of law, it is around the Three Forms of Ethical Life or as"Family, Civil Society and the State". Displaying the Hegel's framework for building civil society and the family ethics, it shows us of the absolute freedom.As the end of the full text of Chapter V, it elucidates Marx's inheritance and transformation of Hegel's Theory of Recognition. Because this chapter based on research both in the Theory of Recognition on the similarities and differences, so the thinking has changed, it is mainly around the following issues: First, because the Theory of Recognition concerns Universal Self-awareness and understanding, therefore this chapter first discusses Marx's understanding of"subject". Second, the discussion of Marx's"three social forms of development"explains its Theory of Recognition in the inner part, and compared with Hegel: such as natural person and the family of contrast, Class analysis and comparison of Civil Society, Communism and the State and contrast. Third, discusses the differences between them in the understanding of Labor. Discussion shows that Hegel summed"Labor"up in the positive aspects as"Labor edification"; Marx is more concerned about Labor in the negative aspects as"Alienation of Labor". Finally, this chapter and from the Struggle for Recognition in the similarities and differences between the two described. Argued that Hegel stood more general interpretation of the spirit of self-awareness and awareness of the independence of free will in general, reflects the"Spiritual Struggle; Marxist Class Struggle, standing position to explain all of human freedom and liberation and highlights the practical philosophy of reality, and reflect a"Practice Struggle".In all, for Hegel, the Theory of Recognition allows us to study the concept of freedom and equality in order to have a deep understanding of the main process of mutual recognition between the pursuit of true freedom in an individual process, but also mutual respect between people equal to each other humane care. In this sense, Marx and Hegel both laid a theoretical foundation from different aspects for the harmony of mankind.
