Goethe and Hegel: Faust and the Phenomenology of Spirit

Veröffentlichen auch Sie bei De Gruyter Brill

Abstract

Goethe and Hegel knew each other well from 1803 until the end of their lives in 1831/32. As is known, Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) contains a section that implicitly responds to Goethe’s Faust. The present article analyzes this response and then uses it as a springboard for a broader investigation of the philosophical relationship between Goethe and Hegel, including a hitherto overlooked critical reply by Goethe to Hegel in Faust II.
