Hegel and Plato are different as ethical theorists. Plato tends to emphasise the community, and authoritarian control over political life, to align ethics with absolute standards. Hegel differs from Plato in aiming to allow individual freedom and the exercise of subjective choice. Yet Hegel follows Plato in setting out an absolutist version of ethics. He differs from Plato in rendering his social ethics immanent to historical development, but there remain issues of establishing and maintaining absolutism of any sort.

摘要

Hegel and Plato are different as ethical theorists. Plato tends to emphasise the community, and authoritarian control over political life, to align ethics with absolute standards. Hegel differs from Plato in aiming to allow individual freedom and the exercise of subjective choice. Yet Hegel follows Plato in setting out an absolutist version of ethics. He differs from Plato in rendering his social ethics immanent to historical development, but there remain issues of establishing and maintaining absolutism of any sort.
