• W1539474440 abstract "This thesis provides a detailed analysis of the dialectic of conscience within Hegel’sPhilosophy of Right. It aims to show that Hegel provides a fundamental role forconscience within the state and, thus, that Hegel preserves the right to subjectivefreedom within ethical life. In doing so, it aims to unite divided opinion on the role ofconscience within Hegel’s political philosophy and to further disarm the charge thatHegel’s state advocates repressive or authoritarian political structures.In order to pursue this argument, this thesis first examines the emergence of consciencewithin the morality section of the text. It presents the moral conscience as the fruition ofsubjective freedom; as possessing the right to produce its own convictions anddetermine for itself what is good. However, it then continues to highlight the necessarilyformal nature of the moral conscience and claims that, because of this formality, thecontent of conscience is always contingent. As such, the moral conscience is always indanger of willing evil; and it is precisely this danger that necessitates the move intoethics. The moral conscience is sublated by the true, ethical conscience.This thesis presents its own reading of the Aufhebung from the moral conscience to thetrue conscience of ethical life, which it believes properly reflects the dialecticalprogression of freedom within the text. It argues that, during the process of Aufhebung,the essential moments of moral conscience are retained and only the negative aspectsare lost. In particular, it claims that conscience’s right to produce its own convictions(and, thus, the right to subjective freedom) is preserved within ethical life, but that thecontingency of conscience is not. As such, true conscience (unlike the moralconscience) wills the good both in and for itself. This does not mean that trueconscience cannot make mistakes. But it does entail that true conscience cannot put itsown convictions beyond criticism. For this reason, this thesis also maintains that theformal conscience of morality, in its non-aufgehoben form, has no place within theethical realm.This thesis locates true conscience’s function in the disparity between the actual and theexisting state. It argues that, in recognising the rational principles inherent in societyand by transforming the existing world to conform more faithfully to these principles,true conscience plays an essential role in keeping the state in line with its own, rationalessence. However, it also maintains that this type of immanent critique extends only toreform, and not to not radical, social criticism. The thesis concludes by describing trueconscience’s role in the legislative power." @default.
