Hegel felsefesinde din

Hegel criticizes a contemporary attitude which supposes that the religion consists of the sentiment. And he thinks that God is Spirit who reveals himself to the Spirit itself; and the essential determination of religion is thinking. Philosophy gives its concept to the truth which religion expresses it under the form of representation. According to the philosophy of Hegel, a distance between the finite Spirit and infinite Spirit is prevailed by intern division of the Spirit. The dialectical movement of the Spirit by passing through historical religions arrives to the Christianity as a revealed religion. And the above mentioned distance is gone beyond and a reconciliation is realised. In our thesis we studied the concept of religion, its representational character, its relations between the absolute religion and historical religions (between Christianity and other religions). We also studied what kind of relation is there between the religion and the state.
