G.W.F. Hegel on Soul - Dictionary of Arguments
Eco I 248 Definition Beautiful Soul/Hegel/Eco: To this purity the consciousness is its poorest form... it lacks the power of disposition, the power to make itself into things and to endure this purely. It lives in the fear of defiling the glory of its interior through action and existence, and in order to preserve the purity of its heart, it flees the touch of reality. The unhappy, so-called beautiful soul degenerates into itself and disappears as a shapeless haze. ((s) > ascetic priest, Nietzsche.) >Consciousness, >Reflection/Hegel, >World/Hegel, >Thinking/Hegel. 1. G.W.F. Hegel, Phänomenologie des Geistes, VI, C, c, Das Gewissen. Die schöne Seele. Das Böse und seine Verzeihung._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
