Um comentário sobre o conceito de teleologia na Ciência da lógica de Hegel

The present article aims to examine the concept of teleology in Hegel's Science of Logic, seeking to understand how this concept provides access to freedom through its speculative movement. The investigation is based on the view that the external and internal activities of teleology constitute, at this stage of Hegel's logic, a syllogistic activity oriented toward the Idea and, consequently, toward the free existence of the Concept. From this perspective, it is possible to interpret this moment of the Science of Logic as a driving force within the Doctrine of the Concept, insofar as teleology embodies a capacity for actualization associated with its own speculative movement. To this end, the article is organized into three parts. First, it briefly reconstructs the Kantian point of departure mobilized by Hegel in his account of teleology. It then examines the development of Hegel's response, the meaning of the concrete universal that he attributes to this concept, and its articulation with freedom. Finally, it investigates the aforementioned internal and external activities of teleology.

Abstract

The present article aims to examine the concept of teleology in Hegel's Science of Logic, seeking to understand how this concept provides access to freedom through its speculative movement. The investigation is based on the view that the external and internal activities of teleology constitute, at this stage of Hegel's logic, a syllogistic activity oriented toward the Idea and, consequently, toward the free existence of the Concept. From this perspective, it is possible to interpret this moment of the Science of Logic as a driving force within the Doctrine of the Concept, insofar as teleology embodies a capacity for actualization associated with its own speculative movement. To this end, the article is organized into three parts. First, it briefly reconstructs the Kantian point of departure mobilized by Hegel in his account of teleology. It then examines the development of Hegel's response, the meaning of the concrete universal that he attributes to this concept, and its articulation with freedom. Finally, it investigates the aforementioned internal and external activities of teleology.
