Abstract

Reading Hegel's 1827 Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion alongside his Phenomenology of Spirit, I argue that his vision for becoming a self-conscious subject-or seeing (oneself as) "spirit"-requires taking responsibility for the insight that every act of reason expresses an experience of sexual difference. It entails working to bring into being communities whose conceptions of gender and the absolute realize this idea

Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit seems an unlikely place for debates about sexual difference, gender roles, and family relations. But in fact, Chapter VIof the Phenomenology, subtitled “The True Spirit. The Ethical Order,” includes Hegel's discussion of these questions in his famous account of Antigone, a play and a character that continue to speak to us in strange and provocative ways. [REVIEW]Jocelyn B.
