Abstract

The present article studies the relation between moral wil and concepts such as responsibility, purpose, intention, moral fate, and the good in Hegel’s philosophy. It explains that Hegel is concerned about moral will as something concrete which is actualized as a stage of the absolute Spirit (or Mind), and thus includes both the objective and subjective aspects of action. Throughout this discussion we should also touch on the difference between Hegel and Kant as to the nature of moral will.
