What is it about?
In my article "Hegel y la revolución", published in Dialektika in 2022, I explore the possibility of situating the concept of revolution within Hegel's Philosophy of Right. I begin by examining how Kant and Arendt conceptualize revolution, providing a foundation to analyze Hegel's perspective. I argue that, for Hegel, revolution is not merely an external or contingent event but a necessary moment in the development of Spirit (Geist) toward freedom.

Why is it important?
This exploration is significant because it challenges the common perception of Hegel as a conservative thinker. By highlighting the revolutionary potential inherent in his dialectical system, I aim to demonstrate that Hegel's philosophy can offer valuable insights into the dynamics of historical change and the realization of freedom. This perspective invites a re-evaluation of Hegel's relevance to contemporary discussions on political transformation.
Perspectives
"The revolution is not an external event that interrupts the development of Spirit but a necessary moment within its dialectical unfolding. It is through the revolution that Spirit actualizes its freedom, overcoming the limitations of the existing order and establishing a new ethical life."
