Ethical System

This book is a manuscript written by Hegel during his time as a Privatdozent at the University of Jena. It represents Hegel's earliest attempt to break free from the influence of Schelling's philosophy and to construct an independent philosophical system, laying the foundation for his later three "e;Jena System Drafts."e; It contains important germinations of thought from the "e;Phenomenology of Spirit"e; and has had a profound influence on the systematic construction of the concept of "e;ethical life"e; in the "e;Principles of the Philosophy of Right."e; It is a fundamental document for examining Hegel's philosophy of right from a historical perspective and is a must-read text for understanding Hegel's early philosophical thoughts. The book has been highly regarded in the Western academic community, with renowned scholars such as Lukacs, Marcuse, Dilthey, Habermas, and Honneth conducting in-depth research on it and using it as an important document for constructing their own philosophical systems. The book is divided into three parts, forming a rigorous logical argumentative framework according to "e;natural ethics,"e; "e;negative ethics,"e; and "e;absolute ethics,"e; which has a strong ideological connection with the tripartite division of "e;abstract right,"e; "e;morality,"e; and "e;ethical life"e; in the "e;Principles of the Philosophy of Right."e; Its "e;negative ethics"e; is regarded by the academic community as the most creative and revolutionary, as it effectively achieves the transition from "e;natural ethics"e; to "e;absolute ethics."e;
