In this essay on Hegel’s philosophy of absolute spirit, I am going to pursue some of his most important concepts – the concept of recognition, the master/slave relationship, and the true infinite – in one of Hegel’s least-read texts, even by Hegel scholars, his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion: vol. 2, Determinate Religion. Here he employs these concepts heuristically, freely, and creatively in his studies of Asian, Jewish, Greek, and Roman religions. I confine my attention in Section I of this essay to Hegel’s discussion of Greek Kunstreligion (the religion of Art and Beauty), and in Section II to the Jewish Religion of the Sublime. Hegel identifies these as religions of freedom, of the elevation of spirit over nature. Each asserts a different version of the important theme that runs throughout the history and philosophy of religion, namely, that spirit has a human presence, or, the humanity of God.
