Abstract

In this article we aim to reconstruct Hegel’s philosophical conception of history, in order to be able to present the determinant aspects through which, to Hegel, history shows itself to thought as well as to present Hegels conception of history “in act”. Beyond categories as “past”, “present” and “future”, Hegel, following in the Illuminists’ footsteps and in the approximation they made between history and progress or perfectibility, offers an understanding of history as “the progress in the consciousness of freedom”. We propose to analyze this definition of history and, this way, to find arguments against a deterministic interpretation of Hegel’s conception of history. In a second moment, we show that, even if Hegel supports a philosophy of history and a social philosophy in which freedom plays a fundamental role, he is, however, interested in combating a too negative or subjectivist notion of freedom, from which the other is considered as limiting or even as opposite to it.
