Description

Since the time of his Dissertation (1891) McTaggart takes the problem of time in Hegel’s philosophy to the centre of his philosophical interest. My intention here is not to describe his argumentation in detail. My interest is rather to compare a general aspect from McTaggart’s conception of time to another interpretation and to refer it to the central problem in Hegel’s idea of time. This paper is divided into three sections: 1) Mc-Taggart’s argumentation about dialectic and time in Hegel’s philosophy, 2) A summary of another interpretation about time and Hegel, 3) The time and the Logical in Hegel’s philosophy: an approach to the central problems.
