The essay aims to highlight how in the critique of modernity proposed by Hegel – a critique that is by no means anti-modern, but which seeks to reground its possibilities of existence within modernity – a new logic of reconciliation takes shape. A logic that does not shy away from the anguish of this cleavage, but rather provides the impetus for the Hegelian project of self-criticism of modernity in the union between reconciliation and cleavage. The analysis will focus on the moment of God’s death – as presented by Hegel in his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion – conceived as the most complete formalisation of reconciliation by virtue due to the co-presence, within it, of anguish and love. A union capable of making this cleavage both the speculative and ethical engine of the entire system: the overcoming of the cleavage on account of the death of God entails a transformation of God himself, who loses his own abstract and unrelated essence, manifesting himself as absolute spirit and as community at one and the same time.

Abstract

The essay aims to highlight how in the critique of modernity proposed by Hegel – a critique that is by no means anti-modern, but which seeks to reground its possibilities of existence within modernity – a new logic of reconciliation takes shape. A logic that does not shy away from the anguish of this cleavage, but rather provides the impetus for the Hegelian project of self-criticism of modernity in the union between reconciliation and cleavage. The analysis will focus on the moment of God’s death – as presented by Hegel in his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion – conceived as the most complete formalisation of reconciliation by virtue due to the co-presence, within it, of anguish and love. A union capable of making this cleavage both the speculative and ethical engine of the entire system: the overcoming of the cleavage on account of the death of God entails a transformation of God himself, who loses his own abstract and unrelated essence, manifesting himself as absolute spirit and as community at one and the same time.
