Quasi-teologiczna metafizyka państwa w idealizmie obiektywnym G. W. F. Hegla
The Quasi-Theological Metaphysics of the State in G. W. F. Hegel’s Objective Idealism

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this text is to present the development of the idea of the state in the thought of the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. The main theses of the presented text are reduced to the concept of György Lukács, which indicate that the theory of the state in the “young” Hegel was completely different than in his mature concepts. Then, Lukács’ theory is compared with other concepts, including Schlomo Avineri. The state of the “young” Hegel was a socio-economic fact. In Hegel’s concepts after the publication of the “Phenomenology of Spirit”, the state was a metaphysical creation. Thus, the text presents two very different concepts of his philosopher in different periods of his life, and also tries to determine the relations that connect the periods of Hegel’s early and late political work. The methods used are: text analysis, comparative, hermeneutical, and qualitative and diachronic research, which are interconnected.
