The evaluation of Heidegger’s interpretation about the relation between Spirit and time (Being) in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit
Abstract
Abstract This paper pursues Heidegger’s interpretation about the relation between Spirit and time (Being) in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. To this end, Heidegger’s critique of Hegel on the relationship between time and Spirit; Heidegger’s interpretation of the Phenomenology as exemplifying the Cartesian-Fichtean metaphysics of the subject; and its role in articulating the modern metaphysics of ‘subjectivity’ were examined. The purpose of this dialogue is the evaluation of problems like meaning of being, the relation between time and spirit, the problematic of finitude of being and infinitude of Spirit in philosophical confrontation between Hegel and Heidegger. Finally it is concluded that in Heidegger's view, time and temporality constitutes the nature of Spirit in Hegel's philosophy, and Hegel's Spirit is “…the absolute self-presentation of reason (ratio-logos) that it manifests itself as parousia of the Absolute. With this Heidegger’s interpretation of Hegel's concept of experience as subjectivity of subject, in his view, Hegel's philosophy inevitably leads to modern metaphysics of subjectivity which achieves its culmination in the modern technology. I argue that the Critique of some commentators to Heidegger is that he forgets those aspects of Hegel’s philosophy in his confrontation with Hegel like thinking of intersubjectivity, the historicity of the experience of spirit, the role of the problem of negativity in dialectical movement and his critique of modernity.
