Abstract

The Hegelian philosophy has a pedagogical character that is present in concept Bildung (education, formation or self-cultivation). The phenomenology of the spirit is the science of the experience of consciousness; the exposition of the learning process of the spirit in consciousness and in history. The spirit is in itself the subject that has learned itself, that knows that it knows and that does not cease to unfold in various historical forms. Thus, the spirit works, it makes itself. It is pure self-activity that is formed and educated dialectically. I support the assertion that Hegel's system of science is not only logical or historical but pedagogical in the emphatic sense that the Idea or the totality of the reality, can only be a long learning process.
