Actuality
Actuality
This chapter examines Hegel’s notion of actuality, which I analyze as the retrospective logic of positing-presupposing implicit in philosophies of reflection. This retrospective logic is central to actualization—a process of externalization and recollection distinctive of Hegelian mediation. It also draws implications of the reading of actuality offered for understanding the structure of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right.
Keywords: doctrine of essence, actuality, external reflection, freedom, philosophy of right
