Abstract

The absolute spirit has long represented a shame, an uncertain part of Hegelian philosophy, which, foreshadowing this conclusion, seems to close in a totalizing claim where there is no more room for contingency, finite temporality, and ultimately freedom. The intention is to indicate the possibility of reading the absolute spirit’s sphere in a different way, trying to see with a dialectic and dialogical point of view, what in the traditional interpretation has been enclosed in an almost rigid structure. The attempt is to outline new possible suggestions on the relationship between art, religion and philosophy that can show the open nature of Hegelian thinking.
