De la negación de sí al reconocimiento: el proceso de formación de la Eticidad Absoluta de Hegel

Abstract

In this article I aim to show the process of constitution that leads to the central idea of “Absolute Ethicity” in Hegel’s practical philosophy. The main thesis establishes that this idea is the result of a process where the overcoming of “singularity” takes place and, together with it, the aspiration previous to the constitution of the ethical substance or State, meaning , the aspiration of getting for itself a recognition under the form of “absolute singularity”. The argument under which such thesis is exposed is that this process of overcoming is in itself a movement of “reflection” or of overcoming singularity itself. With it I try to show that negation of itself equals in Hegel to the essential condition of every process of being recognized of the singular, not just by other singularity, but by the ethical totality as a whole. Thus, the argument seeks to show that the self-negation movement represents the overcoming of the aporiae that derive from a search of knowledge through a “quarrel”; with this process the idea of overcoming in Hegel of itself is disclosed as an expression of a fundamental ethical disposition, essential for the life lived in the State.
