黑格尔恶的观念论析

On Hegel's Concept of Evil

黑格尔认为,有限者就是恶,它使有限性与无限性、普遍性相对立,并使人沉湎于自己的自然本性,导致认识的恶和伪善的恶,促使自我的分裂或疏离;但在自我分裂或疏离中,存在着和解的要求,这是精神发展的必然要求。善与恶是相互依存的,恶也是达到善或普遍精神的一个必要环节,也必将被克服。黑格尔恶的观念虽然深刻,但也引起诸多困惑和烦扰,我们仍需对恶进行认真思考和保持高度的警惕。

;Hegel believes that the finite is evil in that it makes finiteness antithetical to infiniteness anduniversality,and causes humans’indulgence in their natural nature,leading to evil of knowledge andevil of hypocricy,and promoting self-alienation and self-division.But in the self-alienation and self-division,exists the requirement for reconciliation,which is also the inevitable requirement for spiritualdevelopment.Good and evil are interdependent:evil is a necessary link to achieve good or universal spirit,and it will surely be surmounted by good.In spite of its profoundness,Hegel's concept of evil hascaused a lot of confusion and annoyance,which requires us to think carefully about evil and maintain ahigh degree of vigilance.
