The cultural and historical meaning of Hegel’s philosophy

ON THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF HEGEL'S BIRTH

Abstract

In the article, Hegel’s logic is considered as the main link in his philosophy, which has an
objective value for the cultural-historical development of thinking, a value that goes far beyond philosophy. The objective cultural-historical meaning of his philosophy affirms by this. The task is concretized by the analysis of the dialectical form and demonstrationits truth as a method. The method itself is understood as active ability, and thus the meaning of Hegel’s philosophy comes down to retention in the space of mental culture of a universal dialectical form, which captures the entire content of reality and at the same time serves as a way to unfold the internal logic of this content. The concept of truth as a central problem of philosophy and its dialectical form is substantiated, which finds its expression in Hegel’s logic. The idea that dialectical Hegel’s logic can be adequately comprehended only as development own mental ability.
