Hegel: Glossary

hegel : Glossary (from Sebastian Gardner)It is extremely useful to have access to a guide to hegel 's philosophical terminology. M. Inwood's A HegelDictionary is excellent for this purpose and remains invaluable at all stages in the study of hegel . There is a helpfulglossary in R. Solomon, In the Spirit of hegel , pp. 273-87. See also H. Kainz's discussion of the translation ofHegel's terms in the Introduction to his selection from the Phenomenology, and the 'Notes to the Glossary ' in hegel 'sThe Encyclopaedia Logic, ed. T. Geraets et al, pp. 347-52. The Glossary below is drawn from these sources. It is tobe noted that in Miller's translation of the Phenomenology the same German term is often translated in a variety ofunrelated adj., n. (absolut, das Absolute). Complete, self-contained, all-encompassing. Per Inwood, the Absolute'is not something underlying the phenomenal world, but the conceptual system embedded in it'.ABSTRACT (abstrakt). One-sided, empty, devoid of content. Opposed to: concrete.

The development in question pertains to the subject-matter of the Phenomenology, i.e. to forms of consciousness, and it is internal to them: it is self-development through self-criticism. Per Inwood, dialectic
