From Particular to Universal in Hegel’s Philosophy: Citizenship and Justice
Journal Title: ViraVerita: Peer-reviewed E-Journal of Interdisciplinary Encounters - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue
Abstract
Giorgio Agamben has emphasized the issue of individual and recognition as a citizen in the Homo Sacer. I think that addressing this problem in the context of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and Philosophy of Right is important for current political and social practices. Because the problem with the world is a selfconscious problem. Hegel has also dealt with a dialectical process while dealing with the essential social, subjective, and interactive world. It establishes or aims at the relation of dialectical recognition in the Hegel system with the assumption of ideal state and citizenship. This dialectical attitude hides the fact that some social dilemmas are overcome and their contingent side. Such a recognition process also points to the fact that the subject's domain of subjective freedom erodes in the thought of a unity. A few basic questions/problems arise in this direction. I start with a quote from Agamben's book is to reveal the exact question/problem. Is there always a positive recognition and unity from the conflict between the subjectivity of the individual and the objectivity of the state? Can an idealized state and its product citizenship always offer a universal understanding of justice for each individual who shares that social life? In this study, I will try to present a critique of the dialectical process in the context of the issues I have discussed above, while examining the relation of absolute recognition between the individual and the state. For each individual, I will establish the need to establish a recognition relationship on more equal and equal terms, aiming at a collective life on the basis of freedom and justice. I think we need a new dialectic idea that opens doors to new possibilities from reproduced dual opposites in order to shed light on the blind spots in the world we live in. In this regard, this study explains the relation between recognition and justice, which will be able to reassess the relationship of absolute recognition.
