IN HEGEL’S PHENOMENOLOGY ACT AND INDIVIDUALITY AS TRUTH OF GREEK WORD OR SPIRIT
Abstract
In Lectures on The Philosophy of History, Hegel submit that spirit feels
itself at home in ancient Greek and indeed it is reborn in this land. Hegel present a
description of spirit‟s reaching to self-consciousness with regard to phenomenal
knowledge in the Phenomenology of Spirit. In spirit‟s journey for being attain its
self-consciousness, the first stage is the ancient Greek world as a spirit which exist
in immediate manner. There is a living totality of spiritual substance and individual
in ancient Greek world; and this is a given reality which has not yet been reflected
on. Ancient Greek spirit is a unity of the substantial and the individual; for the very
reason it reveals an awareness of individuality which has not yet ripened in a
manner of modern subjectivity. This state of consciousness will give rise to
disintegration of ancient Greek spirit‟s unity or beautiful harmony. With go into
action, ancient Greek‟s beautiful harmony proceed to the conflict and the conflict‟s
champions are actual individuals of the powers of ethicak substance. As soon as the
actual individuals go into action who are natural and immediate defenders of two
substantial power as divine and human right, they move toward the destruction of
each other. Since the both of the essential aspects of spirit don‟t see its totality in
its opposite, the result is a irreconcilableness and the necessity of prooceding to the
higher shape of consciousness. Thus in itself or conceptually there is a living unity
of ethical substance and individual in ancient Greek world. Nonetheless for itself or
experientially the beautiful harmony of ancient Greek spirit dissolves into two
obstinate characters as the champions of divine right and human right. And since in
that conflict the individuals‟ rights couldn‟t be understood as a whole, ancient
Greek spirit bow to its Fate and give place to Roman world as a following world
spirit which recognise the individual as a self even though it is abstract.
