Summary
Vladimir Milisavljević: Identity and reflection
The problem of self-awareness in Hegel's philosophy
Hegel is one of the most important representatives of the philosophical movement known as German idealism, but at the same time one of the most important philosophers in general. A famous Frenchman once asked Hegel to present his philosophy to him in one sentence. Unlike a monk, who, to a similar request related to Christian teaching, immediately answered readily: love your neighbor as yourself, Hegel thought that he could answer the French more easily, by writing as many as ten volumes instead of the requested one sentence. Hegel's dialectical philosophy, his logic and aesthetics, his phenomenology of the spirit, represent a great challenge for professors and students in many world chairs. The Institute's publication Identity and Reflection is the work of the Serbian philosopher Vladimir Milisavljević and represents his doctoral dissertation, defended at the Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy. As the subtitle of the book says, it is dedicated to the problem of self-awareness in Hegel's philosophy. The first part of this work presents the author's reconstruction of the evolution of Hegel's philosophy from his first unpublished manuscripts all the way to the Phenomenology of Spirit, while the second part presents its interpretation. In the third part, the chronological development of Hegel's philosophy is abandoned, and it determines the place that belongs to the concept of self-awareness in Hegel's encyclopedic system.
