It is now evident that the so-called Hegeljahre of 1970 — the 200th anniversary of Hegel's birth — was only the start of a decade of Hegel. Over the last 10 years a flood of commentaries on variousaspects of Hegel's thought have appeared, critical editions of his works have been published, and new translations of his works have been ventured. This review can make no claim to be comprehensive. I...

This article charts the history of the concept of system in order to establish a set of conceptual trends in the philosophy of systems. Establishing the importance of the German Idealists, and especially Hegel, in this history, we then focus on the system of Leibniz since he marks a decisive turn toward the problem of individuation within the systematic, ontological immanence so important to He...

Based on protocol analysis of the designers solving spatial problems in architecture, a paradigm for the designers' behavior was proposed [Akin87] in terms of: Problem (Re)Stnjcturing, when problem parameters are established or transformed, and Problem Solving, when these parameters are satisfied in a design solution. In order to calibrate and verify the paradigm, we implemented a computer base...

Hegel's view of poetry clarifies the overall role of language in his system and allows him to makes sense of a difficult linguistic issue: how to distinguish between poetry and prose. For Hegel, this distinction is crucial because it illuminates the different ways poetry and prose allow us to understand ourselves as members of an ethical community.

However, few of these scholars have considered how the non-reflective aspects of inhabiting a form of life—especially the abilities to form habits and to have feelings—contribute to the reflective...

At the `opposite extreme' is the transcendent critical method of `argumentation' (das Räsonieren), which involves `freedom from all content and a sense of v...

Antigone fascinates G. W. F. Hegel and Luce Irigaray, both of whom turn to her in their explorations and articulations of ethics. Hegel and Irigaray make these re-turns to Antigone through the double and related lenses of nature and sexual difference. This essay investigates these figures of Antigone and the accompanying ethical accounts of nature and sexual difference as a way of examining Iri...

In Hegel au Spinosa:' Pierre Macherey challenges the influence of Hegel's reading of Spinoza by stressing the degree to which Spinoza eludes the grasp of the Hegelian dialectical progression of the history of philosophy. He argues that Hegel provides a defensive misreading of Spinoza, and that he had to "misread him" in order to maintain his subjective idealism. The suggestion being that Spinoz...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between German Expressionist film and Hegel’s system of aesthetics. Through an analysis of the aesthetic qualities of Hanns Ewers’ The Student of Prague (1913) and F.W. Murnau’s Faust, I believe we have evidence to believe that the subjectivity that German Expressionist film sought to capture is aligned with the ‘interiority’ that Heg...
