Assumption and Method in Hegel’s Description of History Byung tai Yoon (Yonsei University) The essence of Hegel’s thinking lies in the spirit. If reason is the subject of the spirit, life might be regarded as its object in his thinking. The spirit should be understood as the spirit only if it acts and moves. To act means to draw the trajectory of life which is nothing other than the historical. Thus the spirit must be historical. Hegel was always concerned with the historical, and separated freedom from the objective law of nature and history. That is why he parted company with Kant or Fichte. Reason must be the principle of history in Hegel’s account in so far as there is nothing that is able to determine the reasonable within history except for reason. The main thrust of Hegel's philosophical history and historical philosophy is that the spiritual and the rational are historical, and historical is and has to be rational. This paper does not aim to propose a new interpretation of Hegel's philosophy of history. Rather I wish to comment on his main ideas in detail in order to indirectly warn readers that the more secondary literatures on Hegel’s philosophy of history have attempted to reveal his originality, the more they have distorted and hidden his main ideas. To do so, I plan to raise and answer two questions which, I believe, play a role as a preliminary to leading Hegel’s philosophy of history: What is his assumption in describing the philosophical history?; What is his method in doing so? These two questions might be resolved not in consecutive order but in mutually circular order in Hegel since the method is determined by the assumption, and vice versa.

소개
국제언어인문학회는 '언어를 통한 인문학 연구'의 필요성에 동감하는 여러 전공분야 학자들의 뜻을 담고 있습니다. 언어에 초점을 맞추는 것은, 다양한 전공분야의 참여에서 생겨날 수 있는 '이질적 집합'의 상황을 극복하기 위한 장치입니다. 현재로서는 작은 불씨를 지핀 것에 불과합니다. 그러나 이렇게 일구어진 불꽃이 새로운 학풍의 바람결에 커다란 섬광으로 빛나게 될 날이 올 것을 우리는 확신합니다. 우리의 학회와 학술지는 인문학 불변의 가치와 시대적 사명을 인식하는 국내외의 학자들을 향해 활짝 개방되어 있습니다. 특정 전공의 범위를 넘어서서 철학, 문학, 언어학, 종교, 역사, 문화, 예술 등의 시각에서 언어의 본질을 토론할 기회가 될 것입니다.
