We will locate Hegel . was coeval of Malthus (1766-1834) and Ricardo (1772-1823) and a 50 years younger than Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant , whose works did know ... and the French Revolution in his student days ... not met Marx (1818-1883)
Hegel was a very deep thinker . His writings were read complicated as medical recipes, very few can decipher (other than pharmacists endowed with the gift of clairvoyance). published very little in life, and the essentials of his work was edited by his students after his death.
"One only understands me, yet I have not understood." The Dialectic , result of tensions and contradictions, at once makes the denial of knowledge play a role. is what Hegel called "prodigious power of the negative."
An example that Hegel himself gives is that of life cycle of a fruit tree . The instant of time or "thesis" would be the seed, which is neither tree nor fruit. Falls to the ground, germinates, grows and becomes a tree, it's time to "denial" of their state seed. In time, the tree produces fruit that are neither seed nor tree, but a negation "double" of the seed and the tree is the moment of "synthesis." And again, the "circle" dialectic begins with another "theory" or seed, etc. .
Considered by the classic story of philosophy as the representative of the summit of the movement German philosophical idealism and as a revolutionary Dialectic would have a profound impact on historical materialism of Karl Marx.
Smith studied Hegel and political economy . Against Smith, who distrusted the state, Hegel was not optimistic about the current unregulated economy. Not only because it generated alienation and turned individuals into cogs in a machine anonymous but because they are self-regulating and led to extremes of wealth and poverty. counterweight to the bourgeoisie , individuals in civil society, was the kind selfless public servants which was a universal class because their interests coincide with those of the community as a whole. For Hegel had to be a part of the community where people feel free. Man is not an individual but a social being.
Marx initially belonged to a group of "Young Hegelians" who adopted the ideas of the master: idealism (the story is the gradual evolution of reason) and the Dialectic (evolution achieved through Conflict between opposing forces), but changed the outlook of Hegel ...
