Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to offer a general view of the philosophical affinities between Plato and Hegel through the analysis of the Hegelian interpretation of the Parmenides. We will show how the Hegelian approach to Plato, and his understanding of idealism and dialectics, is determined by Hegel’s debate with the philosophy of Kant. A brief expose of the differences between Kantian transcendental idealism and Hegelian absolute idealism will be needed. Then, we will show some traits of the Hegelian hermeneutics of Plato in order to understand how the first part of the Parmenides admits parallelisms with certain excerpts of Hegel’s work, both regarding its philosophical purpose as well as stylistically. Finally, the Author expounds the Hegelian evaluation of the dialectical exercise from the second part of the Parmenides. There, Platonic Dialectic fails and does not accomplish its philosophical purpose, and becomes a valuable skepticism consubstantial to philosophical thought.

Hegel parece omitir los sentidos de unidad que el Parménides presenta, y que matizaría mucho el juicio general que tiene de dicho diálogo, sin perder por ello intuiciones interesantes que hay en el ejercicio dialéctico que Platón ejemplifica allí, sentando un camino para la dialéctica que tendrá muchas repercusiones en el futuro filosófico
