Abstract

In the Phenomenology of Spirit, the term Erfahrung is used by Hegel to refer to the experience of consciousness that progressively discovers the inadequacy of its forms, experiencing the incoherence between the object and its own conception of that object. This means that the Hegelian theory of experience represents the attempt to overcome the opposition between subject and object: it is grounded and, at the same time, it grounds (in a hermeneutic circularity) the foundation of Hegel’s idea of spirit as intersubjective consciousness. In this chapter, I consider these aspects of Hegel’s philosophy in light of the interpretation provided by Heidegger in his essay “The Hegelian Concept of Experience”. Heidegger’s reading features several misunderstandings of Hegel’s theory of experience, but understands its importance in terms of the overcoming of the subject/object opposition and has the merit to grasp its potentiality as hermeneutic key to address the relation of consciousness with the world of experience. I conclude by arguing that Hegel’s theory of experience, once it is hermeneutically translated beyond Heidegger’s misunderstanding, allows not only to avoid the regression of the Heideggerian Dasein in a solipsistic self, but also to lay the foundation for a novel paradigm of the self.
