Abstract

One of the most enigmatic phases that the subjective spirit goes through in its confrontation with the first externalities of nature is represented by madness. In this paper I am interested in delving into the "particular difficulty" that this phenomenon acquires in the transitions of the spirit towards its liberation. To this end, I will proceed in four steps: (1) I will analyze the first form that the subjective spirit assumes after the passage through the philosophy of nature, viz: the soul; (2) then, I will place the phenomenon of madness within the architecture of the spirit, as an inner manifestation of the becoming of soul´´ s life; (3) next, I will reconstruct the three ideal types of madness that Hegel distinguishes; (4) finally, and by way of conclusion, I will offer my answer to the question of the specific meaning that madness assumes for the transition to the absolute spirit.
