Jean Hyppolite's Interpretation of Hegel's Philosophy of History
Abraham, Titouan ; Steinbach, Tim-Florian (advisor) ; Ottmann, François (referee)
Master's Thesis Abstract Charles University, Prague Erasmus Mundus EuroPhilosophie (2021-2023) Student: Titouan Abraham Title: L'interprétation par Jean Hyppolite de la philosophie de l'histoire de Hegel (Jean Hyppolite's Interpretation of Hegel's Philosophy of History) Keywords: Hegel; Hegelianism; Theologische Jugendschriften; Phenomenology of Spirit; Jean Hyppolite; philosophy; philosophy of history; pantragism; Alexandre Kojève; end of history The aim of this work is to analyse the singularity of Jean Hyppolite's study of the Hegelian philosophy of history. The guiding question is the following: Did Jean Hyppolite defend a pantragic reading of the dynamics of Hegelian history? We begin with an account of Hegelian studies in France from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the end of the 1930s, when Alexandre Kojève's teachings on the Phenomenology of Spirit came to an end. We discover that Hyppolite differs from Kojève in particular because he breaks with his proposal of an end to history and his anthropological reading of the Hegelian system. To explain these differences, we need to return to the links between the young Hegel's religious thought and the birth of his philosophy of history. This stage consists of re-reading, with Jean Hyppolite, the theological writings of his youth, and showing...

Comments of Patočka's lectures on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit
Vičanová, Gabriela ; Vrabec, Martin (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to offer a comprehensive commentary of Patočka's unpublished lectures on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, which he gave at the Charles University during the summer semester of 1949. These lectures remain unfinished and the exposition of the Phenomenology of Spirit ends before the chapter on morality. Patočka is influenced, to a considerable degree, by the unorthodox reading of Hegel that Kojéve presents in his Inroduction à la lecture de Hegel (1947) and also by a somewhat more conservative commentary by Jean Hyppolite, published in 1946 under the title Genese et structure de la Phénoménologie de l'esprit de Hegel. This thesis follows their influence on Patočka's commentary, in an attempt to discover Patočka's own interpretative stance. Patočka places the Phenomenology of Spirit into a wide context and tries to illustrate its genesis. Following Kojéve, Patočka's interpretation remains nested within an anthropological perspective, considering the master-slave dialectic to be the centerpiece of Hegel's philosophy.

The spirit in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit: Antigone and Rameau's nephew in dialectical conflict
Matějčková, Tereza ; Karásek, Jindřich (advisor) ; Sobotka, Milan (referee)
The work seeks to gain an understanding of the concept of spirit in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. The objective will be met by means of Hegel's interpretation of Sophocles' Antigone and Diderot's Rameau's Nephew. In its most immediate form the spirit appears as an organically structured whole which Hegel identifies with the Greek ethical substance. Superficially this substance is conceived as a harmonious organism; in reality - as Antigone's and Creon's paradigmatic conflict shows - it is beset by inner conflicts. The once unitary and organically structured spirit decomposes into individual forms of consciousness during the Roman period and develops in further course into a subject freed from anything substantial. It is in this course of the spirit evolving into a subject that Hegel presents his interpretation of Rameau's Nephew. Rameau represents the self-negating and self-destructive spirit, who has completely identified with Antigone's and Creon's revolt and has lost the capability of accepting anything not issuing from his consciousness. The last part of the work presents the spirit as a movement seeking to encompass both of these extremes, i.e. the extreme of the substance devoid of subject as well as the extreme of subject negating the substance. In the context of the Phenomenology of...
