A deep theoretical exploration of Hegelian philosophy around the power that allows us to perform a critical analysis of the spirit of Hegel.

When examining Hegel's philosophy based on the phenomenon of power, this work probes its very core: power is not a marginal component of the Hegelian system but its internal configuration. Therefore, it must be presented in all its complexity, with all its radiance and also with its limits, because power does not always manifest itself in coercion, oppression or violence. On the contrary, his true way of expressing himself is in concord. Thus, power is linked to the other: it enables one to continue in the other. It thus favors a continuity of the self.

Faced with the word of power, which is presented as a term of freedom or as a word of love, Byung-Chul Han aims to make a completely different concept visible that shines despite - or even thanks to - the absence of power: kindness.
