G.W.F. Hegel on Freedom - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 332 Freedom/Hegel/Höffe: The guiding principle in legal and state theory is free will. >State/Hegel Free will: Hegel wants to show how the free will, under the condition of modernity, an epoch of alienation, gradually attains its full, alienation-absorbing reality. HegelVsKant: Hegel deviates significantly from (...) Kant, both in his understanding of freedom and law and in the way he argues. However, he shares the fundamental appreciation of the law and the state. Kant calls the law in eternal peace the "eyeball of God"(1) according to Hegel's basic lines it is "something sacred in the first place" (§ 30)(2). Freedom, with which the differences begin, he understands, however, not negatively as "being allowed to do" and "let do", but positively as "being with oneself in the other". Consequently, he is not satisfied with a generally acceptable freedom, but Höffe I 333 aims at the "existence of free will," where "existence" means as much as "full reality". 1.
