Idea
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
The unity of concept and objectivity. Not the Platonic idea (beyond), but the unity of thinking and being experienced in life and cognition. The idea is the concept that has proven itself in experience. Life, cognition, absolute idea are stages of the idea.
Origin: Plato: ideas as eternal archetypes. Kant: ideas as regulative principles. Hegel: idea as self-realization of the concept.
In Hegel: Enc. §213-215; SL Vol. 2, The Idea
