“What is rational is real;
And what is real is rational”.
In Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, his theory explained clearly that a being has an identity and a thought. His theory was based on absolute and subjective idealism. What is understood as reality is a prior manifestation of ideas, concepts and spirit. Therefore, we know through the historical process there was an evolution of knowledge of an absolute Idea. Hegel makes a great contribution by introducing dialectics into the process of philosophy where he explains the history of what is happening in the world and his thought or ideology. Always focusing on saying that all movement arises from an event of contradictions of previous movements. So, understanding what Hegel’s dialectics are, it gives us an idea of what it was based on to understand and express what was happening in the real world, its contradictions and when to overcome its limits. He persuaded, debated and reasoned different ideas; what we know as the concept of thesis and the antithesis, proposing arguments and opposing. So, in general, the dialectic seeks to capture an internal relationship with the whole, it is mediated by it and in turn mediates the whole. For this reason, he not only presented two processes that of proposing and opposing, it was also synthesized. The three Hegelian movements are the thesis, antithesis and synthesis.
Hegel made it very clear that the absolute is the Idea, substance and subject. Relating to each other, the spirit is infinite and finite. An objective spirit according to Hegel is social manifestation, human institution, laws, customs, the different links between people, morality, and history. Morality is the one that deals with life inside as a moral concept. He said that the spirit was distinguished from nature by being the first in movement and developing dialectic. He asserts that the source of movement is the internal contradictions of the spirit. My interpretation of this is that nature for Hegel is the form of being-other. So, I know that the natural sciences are the observable or measurable events and the spiritual sciences are the ones that allow a human being to know himself better. Hegel’s method was systematic and at the same time historical. His absolutism put a dynamic process by him developing consciousness to be able to think of the diversity of ideas that could change the historical concepts applied to the future. This was Hegel’s way of capturing humans to capture the real.
