    Hegel's Entäußerung – Notes on the Kenotic Actualisation.Jan Völker - 2021 - Filozofski Vestnik 41 (1).
    The article reads the preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit as the unfolding of the first circle in the development of spirit. It starts with a deception, as we become aware of the impossibility of reading the text along the lines of a regular understanding of regular meanings: instead, the speculative presentation needs to be written while reading. Philosophy takes place in this actualisation of the speculative, and Hegel appears within the text not as its author, but as the site (...)

Following Heidegger, to think the world is not only necessary to prevent the extinction of life on earth, but, moreover, the loss of thinking the (...)

    Kant and the “Spirit as an Enlivening Principle”.Jan Volker - 2009 - Filozofski Vestnik 30 (2).
    In a famous passage in the Critique of the Power of Judgement, Kant calls the “spirit” an animating or enlivening principle in the mind.

This ambivalence then reoccurs in the notion of life in an aesthetical regard: Life in this sense is the one hand (...)
