Секуляризация в зеркале философии Гегеля: опыт теоретической (концептуальной) реконструкции

Abstract

The article describes Hegel’s attempt to stop the secularization processes that swept over Germany and were accompanied by the decline of interest in the Christian religion in German society. It is shown that the origins of the loss of this interest, Hegel saw in the religion itself, which, in his opinion, turned more to the heart than to the mind. Y.Habermas regarded these claims of Hegel to religion as a continuation of the judicial process that began in the history of German philosophy, where, starting with Kant, the “hereditary dispute between philosophy and religion” has been discussed. The specificity of Hegel's interpretation of the Holy Scripture, which led him to the conclusion that God is a thought, and therefore opened to us in the intellectual space of pure thought. The reasons for which Hegel replaced the religious forms of thinking and life with reasonable philosophical equivalents, thus implementing a philosophical comprehension of religious content, are clarified. The question of whether Hegel’s philosophy has succeeded in slowing down the secularization processes in German society has been analyzed in detail.
