The aim of this essay is to suggest an interpretation of Hegel’s distinction between the terms mystisch (mystical) and symbolisch (symbolical) as presented in The Spirit of Christianity and its Fate.1 I argue that Hegel’s early attempts to deal with the connection and with the distinction between these terms lead to a very subtle but at the same time crucial differentiation. Exploring this differentiation — as I will try to show — will prove further relevant in reconsidering Hegel’s later speculations not only on symbol and symbolism but also on the nature of mysticism.

Abstract
The aim of this essay is to suggest an interpretation of Hegel’s distinction between the terms mystisch (mystical) and symbolisch (symbolical) as presented in The Spirit of Christianity and its Fate.1 I argue that Hegel’s early attempts to deal with the connection and with the distinction between these terms lead to a very subtle but at the same time crucial differentiation. Exploring this differentiation — as I will try to show — will prove further relevant in reconsidering Hegel’s later speculations not only on symbol and symbolism but also on the nature of mysticism.File in questo prodotto:
