HEGEL AND RELIGION AS THE SECOND MOMENT OF THE SPIRIT’S ITINERARY

Abstract

These reflections aim at emphasizing the Hegelian conception of religion regarding, more specifically, the religion as the second moment of the itinerary of the Absolut Spirit. As it is known, both the Hegelian system as a whole and his conception of religion in particular are very extensive, nuanced and susceptible of the most varied interpretations. This is given, principally, to the evolution and the transformations through which his thought unfolds itself. This is the reason why, considering the formal limits of this paper, we limited ourselves only to underscore, in a descriptive and analytical way, the question of religion such as Hegel presents it in the Phenomenology of Spirit.
