Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, while following the process of the development of recognition and freedom in the history of the formation of Hegelian philosophy, we attempted to clarify the whole picture of Hegel's social philosophy by considering the development of the concept of reconciliation, which is the opposite of recognition. From this, we looked at the possibility of a new social philosophy in the present age.
Specifically, the history of the development of Hegel's unique concept of freedom (communal freedom), the history of the development of the concept of recognition, and the history of the development of the concept of reconciliation were reinterpreted discussed as a tripartite history. Furthermore, through such a reinterpretation of Hegel's social philosophy, we stepped forward to construct a new social ontology that considers the results of contemporary social philosophy, especially the theory of action in contemporary analytic philosophy.
