This paper reviews some coincidences in the political philosophy of Hegel and Rousseau derived from the assumption by both philosophers that the objective of politics is the establishment of the State. Hegel and Rousseau consider that the nation is a necessary condition for the establishment of the State; in other words, the State requires the prior development of collective identity to fit the corresponding political community correctly. So, although from Hegel’s point of view the nation emerges from a historical process while, for Rousseau, it springs from the shared activities and experiences of a collective, both discuss a real-world process which pushes their theories to converge functionally despite of their initial conceptual differences.
