헤겔의 반낭만주의적 낭만주의 : 그의 체계에서 ‘낭만적인 것’의 변증법

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to provide a deeper and more appropriate interpretation of the Hegelian concept of ‘the romantic.’ The author focuses especially on Hegel’s new change of view, which might be called ‘the second turn’: Although he is familiar with romanticism in his youth period, the mature Hegel turns to anti-romanticism (the first turn), because he took the absoluteness of reason; But in the process of development of his system to the completion, he subsumes both romantic and anti-romantic standpoints under ‘the romantic’ as a macroscopic category and uses this concept in a wider and more profound sense. His concept of ‘the romantic’ can be used almost synonymously with ‘the christian.’ However, ‘the christian’ includes the christianity as a certain religion on the one hand, but may not be simply equalized with it on the other, just as ‘the romantic’ is a superordinate concept of romanticism and thus could not be identified with it, because these two concepts basically indicate the way of mental operation called ‘internalness’ (Innerlichkeit). Therefore we could say that the highest and ultimate fulfillment of the Hegelian romantic (and the Hegelian christian) could be found exclusively in the stage of (speculative) philosophy, but neither in the romanticism nor in the christianity, and in this sense he could be called an ‘anti-romantic romanticist.’
