La contradicción del punto de vista moral y la antinomia del deber ser perenne

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relevance of the Hegelian logic (especially its understanding of the concepts of “contradiction” and “antinomy”) for the practical philosophy; and in particular with regard to morality, understood as the second moment of Hegel’s Philosophy of Law. The division in three levels (abstract right, morality and ethical life) does not mean that ethical life, exposed as the third level, should be understood as what “is to come later”, after abstract right and morality. The ethical life is rather presented as the foundation of law and morality, exposing systematic progress, but at the same time the legitimacy of their origin.
