Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper suggests that Hegel’s concept of Sittlichkeit (ethical life) provides an elementary way of understanding the relationship between individual development and the cultural and political environment. In contrast to many other concepts of context, it is able to integrate the moral, social, political, economic, and legal conditions of human development within one framework. Individual development is analyzed in terms of how freedom, Bildung (self-development), and recognition are realized in the institutions of ethical life. As a theory of the historical development of the institutional conditions of human freedom, Hegel’s political philosophy provides a normative foundation for emancipatory activities. Hegel’s political theory challenges sociocultural and cultural-historical psychologies to expand developmental interventions into communities and social movements for the reconstruction of institutions.
