Hegel’s Conception of Psychology

Abstract

Hegel presents psychology as the science of subjective mind (geist) that exhibits the culminating development of finite, theoretical mind. mind as intelligence has overcome the subject-object diremption of consciousness (phenomenology) and the undeveloped natural unity of soul (anthropology). the intuiting intelligence reflects the object as singularity. the representing intelligence reflects itself within itself and invests its object with universality. intelligence as thinking grasps the object as a concrete universal that both is and is thought.
