Concept
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
Not a static definition or mental representation, but living self-determination. The concept for Hegel is active: it articulates itself, judges, infers, shows itself in experience. The unity of the universal, the particular, and the individual.
Origin: Traditionally: concept as mental image. In Hegel: concept as self-movement of the matter itself.
In Hegel: Enc. §160-162; SL Vol. 2, Doctrine of the Concept
