- 요약This dissertation investigates Hegel's conception of the psyche [Seele] and psychic illness [Seelenkrankheit] in the Anthropology, a widely neglected, understudied, and opaque part of Hegel's philosophical system. Despite the fact that Seele constitutes the central subject matter of the Anthropology, it is, as anyone who has read the Anthropology can attest to, far from apparent how one ought to understand Hegel's conception of Seele. The overarching aim of this project is to offer an answer to this question-what is Seele and how are we to understand it?-and to illuminate the surprising and continued relevance of Hegel's conception of the psyche and psychic illness for domains as far-reaching as philosophy of mind, psychoanalysis, social and political philosophy, and, as I will argue, environmental philosophy, and environmental ethics. Each of the three chapters that make up this project are an attempt to shed light on Hegel's rich, opaque, and provocative conception of Seele from divergent but interrelated perspectives. Chapter 1 presents and defends a novel interpretation of Hegel's conception of Seele as dealing with the most basic and primitive forms of mindedness or subjective experience-that is, self and other awareness. To defend this interpretation, I first consider and ultimately reject two candidates for understanding Hegel's conception of Seele, beginning with what might appear to be an intuitive starting point, given Seele's status as the proper subject matter of the Anthropology-namely, the idea that Seele refers straightforwardly to the human being. What such interpretations of Seele, however, fail to adequately take into account is the way in which Hegel characterizes Seele at the beginning of the Anthropology, Seele's role within Hegel's philosophical system as that which emerges out of nature's overcoming of itself, and the relatively primitive nature of many, if not all, of the psychic capacities that Hegel explores in the Anthropology. The second interpretation of Seele that I consider and ultimately reject is an Aristotelian reading of Hegel's Anthropology, which understands Hegel's conception of Seele on the model of Aristotle's conception of the psyche [psuche] and therefore as dealing with life and the capacities of living organisms. There are, however, at least three problems with an Aristotelian interpretation of Seele. The central problem is that such a reading fails to adequately explain the subject matter of the Anthropology and, therefore, Hegel's conception of Seele. But I also argue that Aristotelian readings of Seele can obscure both important discontinuities in the kind of account that Aristotle and Hegel's respective conceptions of the psyche are interested in providing and the way in which Hegel imbues his conception of Seele with an anthropological significance that is distinctively Kantian with respect to the way Seele is bound up with freedom and reimagined as the proper subject matter of anthropology. Finally, I present a novel interpretation of Hegel's conception of Seele as dealing with the most basic and primitive forms of self and other awareness. Not only does recasting Seele in terms of self and other awareness avoid the pitfalls of the other two interpretations, but it also emphasizes the fact that the Anthropology is not simply interested in the conceptual development of subjectivity and self-awareness. It is, I contend, just as much interested in the conceptual development in the sense of the other that corresponds to and occurs in tandem with the development of an increasingly self-aware subject. Self and other develop, in other words, together.On the basis of this understanding of Seele, Chapter 2 argues that Hegel's conception of Seele can be understood as an account of psychic health. The first part of this chapter focuses on Hegel's normative conception of health and disease, arguing that Hegel understands health and disease on the model of conceptual realization. It also considers two markers of health, order and subjectiveH vitality, and the corresponding senses of disease to which they give rise, disorder and subjectiveH weakness. In doing so, my aim is to spell out some of the implications of a conception of health and disease as modeled on conceptual realization-namely, that health and disease ought not to be understood as mutually exclusive states or conditions; that disease conceptually presupposes and requires some degree of health; that only entities which exhibit the structure of subjectivityH can be understood as healthy or diseased; and that this model of conceptual realization does not rule out the possibility of conceptual openness. The second part of this chapter finally turns to the concept in question-Seele-and articulates how Hegel's conception of Seele can be understood. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest).
