Spazi di libertà. Universalità astratta e concreta nei Lineamenti di filosofia del diritto di Hegel

For Hegel, objective spirit is the development and realization of freedom on the social and political level. By the development the spaces of freedom in respect to nature could be extended, but also the spaces of freedom in ethical and political life: abstract right, morality, bourgeois society and (political) state are irreducible spheres of freedom in modernity. Here the sphere of right is crucial; the sphere of action for a person is limited by right. Right, for Hegel, is the existence of freedom as the result of a political history. Its abstractness is the condition of the equality of all men and of personal freedom.
