2. The Absolute Idea, plays the same kind of role for Hegel as a deity. The Absolute idea goes
over into nature as objectivity as the antithesis of the Idea, but in the sphere of the human spirit –
history – the Absolute idea returns to itself in that it is in this sphere that it manifests itself as it
really is. The transition process of the absolute idea into nature is called alienation. According to
Hegel, the Absolute comprises three phases: the
(1) Idea/Concept/notion, (2) the sphere of nature, and (3) the sphere of Spirit.
Similarly philosophy falls into three domains:
(1) logic (metaphysics –studying the Absolute in itself), (2) philosophy of nature, and (3)
philosophy of Spirit.
