Hegel i Trojstvo u diskursu novovjekovnih mijena i tradicionalnog kršćanskog trinitarnog nauka
Hegel and the Trinity in the Discourse of Newieval Changes and Traditional Christian Trinitarian Doctrine

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the nature, role and place of the Trinity in the philosophical system of G.W.F. Hegel, referring here in particular to his works “Phenomenology of Spirit” and “Lectures on the History of Religion”. In doing so, we try to move through three different starting points. In the first we ask about the spiritual and political climate of Hegel’s time, and how it influenced his conception of the Christian God. In the second we look at some peculiarities of Hegel as a thinker and author. Finally, through the third and most comprehensive starting point, we seek to observe Hegel’s conception of the Trinity in discourse with traditional Christian Trinitarian doctrine. Here again we encounter three different questions: The question of Gnostic and Ne-oplatonic role models in Hegel’s work; with Hegel’s attempt to transcend God as a mystery through speculative thinking, and finally, the relationship between God, the world, and man in Hegel’s work. In all this, G.W.F. Hegel eventually proves to be an unorthodox but also a permanently inspired thinker.
