Die Entwicklung der zeitgenössischen Philosophie ist durch Hegels Denken entscheidend beeinflusst worden. Die Gründe für seine andauernde Aktualität aber sind selten verstanden worden. Im Gegensatz zu vielen Hegel-Interpreten wird hier der «absolute Idealismus» als das Wesen der Philosophie Hegels erkannt. Die «dialektische Methode» und das «System» bilden eine untrennbare Einheit. Auf dieser Grundlage erfolgt in einer streng theoretisch-systematischen Perspektive eine konsistente Auslegung von Hegels «Philosophie des unendlichen Selbstbewusstseins». Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt legt die Arbeit auf die Auseinandersetzung mit dem gegenwärtigen amerikanischen Hegelianismus. Übereinstimmung besteht mit E.E. Harris und R.D. Winfield, während R.B. Brandom entschieden kritisiert wird. Contemporary philosophy’s development has been decisively influenced by Hegel’s thought, yet only rarely have the grounds for its everlasting up-to-dateness been understood. Contrary to many Hegel-interpreters, «Absolute Idealism» is here regarded as the core of Hegel’s philosophy. The «dialectical method» and the «system» constitute an inseparable unity. On this basis a consistent interpretation of Hegel’s «philosophy of infinite self-consciousness» is outlined. Attention is focused especially on the discussion of contemporary American Hegelianism, largely agreeing with E. E. Harris and R. D. Winfield, while sharply criticizing R. B. Brandom.
