Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, página 3 de 9

Hoy se considera a Hegel (1770-1831) el último gran metafísico de Occidente. Se empeñó en pensar la realidad como un sistema absoluto de contrarios dialécticos y armonizados incluso en su desarmonía. Sostuvo la aventurada y criticada tesis de que lo real es racional y que razon y realidad se unifican en el mundo concreto que habitamos. Respondio a la sempiterna pregunta ¿Que es la realidad? afirmando que es la manifestacion y el desarrollo del Espiritu absoluto, que alcanza su maduracion y autoconocimiento a traves de la historia y la cultura humanas. Como idealista aventuraba que la humanidad se halla en perpetuo cambio y en constante desarrollo hacia un fin bueno y racional. Hegel tuvo en Karl Marx a uno de sus mas avidos lectores.

Edición completa y anotada de un texto fundamental, en una disciplina que viene así definida por Hegel: "Estas lecciones se ocupan de la estética; su objetivo es el vasto reino de lo bello, y, más precisamente, su campo es el arte, vale decir, el arte bello". Por supuesto, a este objeto, propiamente hablando, no le es enteramente adecuado el nombre de estetica, pues "estetica" designa mas exactamente la ciencia del sentido, del sentir, y con este significado nacio como una ciencia nueva o, mas bien, como algo que en la escuela wolffiana debia convertirse en una disciplina filosofica en aquella epoca en que en Alemania las obras de arte eran consideradas en relacion a los sentimientos que debian producirse, por ejemplo, los sentimientos de agrado, de admiracion, de temor, de compasion, etc. A la vista de lo inadecuado o, mejor dicho, de lo superficial de este nombre, se intento forjar otros, como por ejemplo, calistica. Pero tambien este se muestra insuficiente, pues la ciencia que proponemos considera, no lo bello en general, sino puramente lo bellos del arte. Nos conformaremos, pues, con el nombre de Estetica, dado que, como mero nombre, nos es indiferente, y ademas, se ha incorporado de tal modo al lenguaje comun que, como nombre, puede conservarse. No obstante, la expresion apropiada para nuestra ciencia es "filosofia del arte", y, mas determinadamente, "filosofia del arte bello".

Edición y traducción de Manuel Jiménez Redondo. Obra germinal de todo el pensamiento de Hegel, la Fenomenología es también un compendio de toda la filosofía anterior a ella, vista desde la cumbre especulativa del idealismo, y un programa intelectual que, incluso para sus mas feroces criticos, ha encontrado en su posteridad el cumplimiento y la confirmacion que garantizan su perpetua juventud, es decir, el hecho de ser un escrito que aun esta por leer y que aun tiene que entregar sus mejores frutos. A la labor de hacer ello posible se ha entregado con entusiasmo y una dedicacion inusitada, Manuel Jimenez Redondo, acreditado traductor de obras filosoficas y conocedor en profundidad de todos los meandros y complejidades de un texto en el que se ha empleado a fondo para hacerlo legible a todo aquel lector que quiera situarse a la altura de la tarea que Hegel describio como "el arduo trabajo del concepto".

Hasta 1800 Hegel no quiso ser filósofo, sino revolucionario. De esta fase son los textos aquí presentados. Pero de la “Révolution” a las guerras napoleónicas la historia se precipita; entre 1799 y 18
