Abstract
For Hegel the modern world is characterized by the loss of ethical-community bonds, result of the enthronement of the individual, which is evident in the importance that the autonomous moral conscience gains, but also in the primacy of civil society as a structure of negative relationships between individuals who promote their particular interest. He always aspired to overcome such a tearing apart of the social, making it necessary to consider all aspects of the subject. Therefore, he developed a theory of the spirit in which the individual abstraction was mediated. The question that this essay brings about is whether the performance of this theory is not achieved at the expense of individuality itself.
