G.W.F. Hegel on Mediation - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 351 Mediation/Reflection/Alienation/Hegel/Gadamer: (...) Hegel's philosophy of the spirit claims to provide a total mediation of history and present. It is not a formalism of >reflection (...). Hegel has reflected on the historical dimension in which the problem of hermeneutics has its roots. >Method/Hegel, >History/Hegel, >Dialectic/Hegel. Gadamer I 352 The life of the spirit consists (...) in recognizing oneself in otherness. The spirit, directed towards self-knowledge, sees itself divided with what is foreign and must learn to reconcile itself with it, recognising it as its own and native. By dissolving the hardness of positivity, it is reconciled with itself. >Subject-object problem, >Intersubjectivity, >Subject/Hegel. Insofar as such reconciliation is the historical work of the spirit, the historical behavior of the spirit is neither self-reflection nor the mere formal-dialectical suspension of the self-alienation that has happened to it, but an experience that experiences reality and is itself real. >Self-consciousness/Hegel._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
