    Hegel and The Role of Immanent Critique

    Uploaded by

    Henry Frederick Amiel A. de Vera
    Hegel believed that the real is rational, meaning reality has an internal logic and order. For Hegel, truth is arrived at dialectically rather than through direct perception. He used "Absolute" not to refer to a supreme being but as the state of collective consciousness achieved when humanity becomes freed from alienation through rational understanding. The real progresses dialectically towards self-realization as consciousness overcomes historical illusions through critique as an immanent examination process.
