Abstract (EN)

After the French Revolution, the great changes in the social sphere have had a significant impact on philosophical thought. In this respect, one of the philosophers most affected by his own history was Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Hegel's views on historical design have also determined his philosophical thought with a holistic perspective. In Hegel's expression, history as a result of recognition-relationship cause to the formation of both consciousness and public space as well as states. From this perspective, the Phenomenology of Spirit, one of the basic texts, explains the historical development of consciousness in a dialectical process. With sublation (Aufhebung), another important concept, the process of externalization, this begins with the acquisition of self-consciousness, proceeds until it reaches absolute knowledge. In the Philosophy of Right text, it is explained how the rules of law that allow the regulation of public space will determine the progress of history. It also explains how to live in state order as a result of the progress of history. In the Philosophy of Right, Hegel describes the historical progress of states during their own era. In general, it is possible to examine these views of Hegel based on the dialectical method in two frameworks. The first of these frameworks is the 'end of history' thesis, which asserts that the progressive structure of history will ultimately end at some point. Defending the thesis of the end of history, Kojeve interprets Hegel's understanding of history from a Marxist perspective. On the other hand, Fukuyama, who has the same perspective, discusses the end of history thesis from a liberal perspective. Another approach involves a spiral view of history that suggests that the relationship between the dialectical process and recognition will continue in the course of history, as the conflict never ends. The spiral view of history includes the ideas of Hyppolite, who has an existential perspective and says that history is constantly moving, and ideas of Marcuse, who has a Marxist perspective and asserts that history will always continue to progress. In Hegel's thought and historical approaches, all these processes are discussed from a dialectical perspective.
