In this contribution, I will investigate the possibility of freedom in Hegel’s system. At first, I will highlight the relationship between truth and freedom in Hegel’s Logic, by showing the two different movements of the Absolute Idea which is, according to Hegel, “the whole truth” and, as the foremost figure of Logic, truly free.
In a second step, I will go back to the Doctrine of essence, to the theoretical source of freedom. If, as Hegel states, the truth of necessity is freedom, it is then necessary to prove the validity of this claim within the framework of Logic. Through these two moments, I will try to investigate whether the Absolute Idea is detached from the realm of necessity for its own nature. Indeed, since Logic anticipates and potentially contains in itself the totality of the real, then only finding therein the proof of freedom entail us to conclude that there is freedom in the whole system.
