Abstract of the Lecture:
This lecturer considers the philosophy of Hegel as the accomplishment of the concept of modernity since the Enlightenment, which regards human beings as the resource of every norm. We will examine the development of this concept from Kant to Fichte and then to Hegel so as to explain why we can say that it is Hegel’s absolute idea which reaches its ultimate point. In addition, we will also demonstrate a non-metaphysical approach to Hegel.
