Abstract

The concerns of the young Hegel before 1800 have not yet reached the plan itself speculative, settling more on concrete issues and expressing the influence of certain elements in its development: the philosophy of Moses of his time - Kant - to move the investigation of German theorists at the end of the eighteenth century; the studies on religion and the Greek world have started their training in critical Tübingen, the background of the French Revolution in its reception in Germany, where the environment is also expressed Fichte, Schelling, Schiller and Hölderlin thematic nearby. The combination of these elements culminate in the relevance of the role of freedom for the young Hegel, perceptible in the writings of his pre-systematic in Frankfurt, especially in the manuscript The Spirit of Christianity and its Fate. It is this work that this posthumously published work is dedicated - is proposed to explore the articulation of the concept of freedom in a way that addresses issues such as positivity, legality, morality and love.
