G.W.F. Hegel on Alienation - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 352 Alienation/Reconciliation/Hegel/Gadamer: The life of the spirit consists (...) in recognizing oneself in otherness. The spirit, directed towards its self-knowledge, sees itself divided with what is foreign and must learn to reconcile with it by recognising it as its own and home. By dissolving the hardness of positivity, he is reconciled with himself. Insofar as such reconciliation is the historical work of the spirit, the historical behaviour 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. >Experience/Gadamer, >Mind/Hegel, >Subject/Hegel, >Subject-Object-Problem. - - - Eco I 238 Alienation/MarxVsHegel/Eco: Hegel does not distinguish between externalization and alienation. (voluntary/unvoluntary). Eco: he could not, because as soon as the human objectifies himself in the world of the things he has created, in nature, which he has changed, a kind of inevitable tension arises, whose poles on the one hand are the control of the object and on the other hand the complete losing onself in it in a balance that can only be dialectical, i.e. in a permanent struggle. >G.W.F. Hegel, >Alienation/Hegel, >Object/Hegel, >Dialectic, >Contradiction, >Change._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
