Nature, Spirit, Freedom, Hegel, HabitAbstract
The essay focuses on four fundamental meanings of the concept of second nature in Hegel and reconstructs its links, internal connections and implications for the understanding of the whole Geistesphilosophie. Through the concept of second nature, in fact, it is possible to highlight the connection between subjective spirit and objective spirit and to show that the spheres of the spirit are not without unification and come from a common root. At the end of the essay it emerges that the concept of second nature has also an ambivalent status: on the one hand, it makes possible the idealization of nature and the elevation to the dimension of spirit, on the other hand, it implies a naturalization of spirit, that is, its autonegation.
