Hegel's Theory of Self-conscious Life

This book is an extended work that connects several theoretical aspects of Hegel’s thought through his notion of self-consciousness, especially his conception of life and the concept in the Science of Logic, the philosophy of action, of world human history, and rights.

This book strives to deal with Hegel’s thought by means of a thorough, unitarian and logical approach and to enforce the idea that philosophy is rigorous as far as it is able to consistently tackle the question of self-consciousness. It results that the logic underlying every philosophical interest traces back to the self-referring investigation about life in the mode of self-consciousness, by which social practices and their history can be grasped. Once we assess that self-consciousness is life through the concept, we would be able to realize the logical structure underlying its historical outcomes.
