La conjunción entre metafísica y experiencia. La abertura del sistema hegeliano

Abstract

In the following pages we will go deeply into the connection between metaphysics and experience in the work of G. W. F. Hegel. The aim is to clarify the role of experience within the Hegelian system. Hegel’s system starts from metaphysics as a priori foundation, that is, independent of all experience. This metaphysics, however, bases a philosophy of nature and a philosophy of spirit that are not metaphysical, precisely because of the important role that experience plays in them. The Hegelian philosophy is thus shaped into a system, which contains metaphysical elements but is also open to experience and therefore to new developments in science.
