Abstract

This article  aims to explain how the political project of State that Hegel outlines in the Philosophy of Right (1821) is recovered by the concept of “community” (Gemeinde) in the Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion (1821-1832) with  the use of syllogisms as they are presented in the Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences (1830) and the Science of Logic (1816). Once the rational State is grounded on different dimensions of human life, it recognizes them as its own, materializing a viable collective project only when individual freedoms are warranted. According to Philosophy of Right, the effectiveness of the State occurs through the collecting of previous stages. It is applied to the will, which paves the way for morality and ethical life. On the other hand, Hegel, in the classes that constitute the Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, will focus on the concept of “community”. In the same way as the State, the community is also a social arrangement, with its own rites and rules, whose participants acquire a sense of belonging and unity. By having political purposes similar to the State, the community's goal is to maintain the group based on a constituted and collectively assimilated order. The political role of the community, therefore, is best seen when Hegel's political theory is connected with the philosophy of religion with the elements "freedom", "finite", "infinite", "concept" and “truth" identified in Hegel’s logic.
