The Metaphysical Dimension of History for Hegel: The Path of Freedom as a Root

Abstract

This research is a historical study which deals with the Metaphysical Dimension for History in Hegel- Path of Freedom Thematically. History, for Hegel, is a process of promoting awareness of freedom so that freedom is the core of the soul and its sole truth; and throughout history, the soul struggles to realize and achieve that through its various periods for nations and people. Therefore, Hegel reveals that the struggle of the soul for possession of freedom passes through stages. At each stage, the level of possession of awareness and freedom grows up to a higher level, reaching the final stage which expresses the advancement of human history.
