G.W.F. Hegel on Hobbes - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I Hobbes/Hegel/HegelVsHobbes/Honneth: Hegel criticizes Hobbes' individualistic approach to a society that is based on a struggle of individuals against each other and neglects the aspect of an individual's struggle for mutual recognition. Honneth: Hegel integrates the "negative, conflictual character"(1) of social coexistence in Brocker I 793 one's own perspective. At the same time, however, he turns into a critical argument against the paradigm of self-preservation (see >Hegel/Honneth). Honneth: So Hegel argues with Hobbes against Hobbes by adopting the motive of struggle, but combining it with a completely different theoretical tradition, especially with the recognition theory by Fichte.(2) See >Recognition/Honneth, >Hegel/Honneth, >Intersubjectivity/Hegel. 1.
