Hegel: On Teaching Philosophy
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.details##
This paper shows how Hegel was opposed to a purely scholarly teaching of philosophy in gyms and universities, and outlines his proposal to teach it as a science, as a rigorous and systematic knowledge of concepts by which the human soul rises to the universal. Man just is what he/she is, and can only become what she/he wants to be through education as a “second birth” to the realm of spirit. Teaching philosophy cannot remain only in the study of historical products of philosophizing. It should become familiar with arts, sciences and the own particular religion in order to participate in this spiritual substance from beginning to the end. Otherwise, conceptual thinking would be reduced to a mere sophistical reasoning.
