Conceptul de experiență în Fenomenologia spiritului de G.W.F. Hegel
The Concept of Experience in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit

Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates Hegel’s conception of experience (Erfahrung) in The Phenomenology of Spirit, with particular emphasis on the Introduction rather than the Preface – the latter functioning as an introduction to Hegel’s philosophical system as a whole, rather than to the Phenomenology itself. Following a concise account of Hegel’s intellectual development up to 1807, the year of the Phenomenology’s publication, the paper considers the specific role this work occupies within Hegel’s system and the precise manner in which it differs from the later Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences. It is argued that while the Encyclopaedia was designed to articulate the structure of systematic philosophy as Hegel ultimately conceived it, the Phenomenology was conceived as a fundamentally metaphysical work, originally intended to serve as “Part One” of the projected System of Science. The discussion then turns to the distinction between Hegel’s and Kant’s respective notions of experience, highlighting the originality of Hegel’s conception and situating it within the broader philosophical landscape of his time.
