Hegel : a abstração e seus desdobramentos

Abstract

This work results from an attempted synthesis of our study on the discussions held by Hegel on the formation of conscience in the transition period between youth and maturity, particularly between the years 1802 and 1807, years in which they were published, respectively, Faith and Knowledge and Phenomenology of Spirit. Apparently, this period wins in Hegel emphasis the importance of the concept of abstraction for knowledge. Attempt to show how the author works this concept from the process of formation of conscience to the apex of knowledge when the limit imposed by abstraction with the conquest of knowledge of the absolute is expired. Now retrace some of the main aspects of training process led us to some reflections on the positive role of abstraction, ie, that it is not just a cognitive loss, but is also the only way to move gradually from the particular to the whole.
