| Description | Hegel's conception of state is based on development of relationship between individuals and its manifestation in development of society. Development of both of these dimensions is a manifestation of development of absolute spirit, which reaches to its realization throughout history and which ends in a final form of state. This conception was critically addressed by Popper, who saw Hegel's conditioning of ethical fullfilment of individual (thanks to following duties, which he has as a citizen) as the origin of a totalitarian state. Nevertheless, Hegel's conception of state is also being interpreted by Hejdánek, who considers some aspects as important for understanding of freedom of speech and action and freedom of selfrealization of individual in a democratic state. There is a contradiction in these two approaches to Hegel. The aim of this paper is to present aspects, which can be - from Hejdánek's perspective - seen as positive, and reasons, why Popper's critique can be seen as too radical. |
