Summary/Abstract: In this paper the main difficulty concerning Hartmann’s theory of the objectivated spirit is analyzed. Firstly, I reconstruct the main theses of Hartmann`s stratalism. Secondly, I demon-strate three main forms of the spiritual being: a personal spirit, an objective spirit and an objectivated spirit. Thirdly, I analyze the main difficulty of this theory: understanding the objectivated spirit as being composed of two layers. Important is also the lack of distinction between objectivated spirit and objectivation. Fourthly, I present some interpretations pro-posed by other scholars interested in Hartmann’s philosophy.
