Key Elements Pertaining to Hegelian Freedom

Summary/Abstract: Hegel has analyzed the concept of freedom comprehensively in many of his philosophical works. In doing so, Hegel takes a different position from the liberal and Kantian theory by praising the spirit as a different concept to reality and by affirming that the truly free will is an ethical one. Hegel’s discourse is built on the succession of events and epochs; in such succession, nations and worlds have contributed to the development of the world spirit toward freedom. Throughout his work the concept of freedom takes a central place in his philosophy. Thus, Hegel concludes that the most comprehensive freedom is achieved through philosophical activity.
