Apuntes sobre la racionalidad y la comprensión histórica en la filosofía de la historia de Hegel

This article offers a reflection on the importance of Hegel’s philosophy of history in the study of historical phenomena such as art, focusing on the relationship between rationality and historical understanding. It examines how Hegel approaches the historicity of his discipline from the problematic character of his present, and how he interprets the historical in the light of the time in which he lives. Furthermore, Hegel’s ability to deal reflexively with the history of the object of study, considering the temporal and spatial distance before the various historical moments, is highlighted. In this way, the influence of Hegel’s philosophy on the understanding of the historicity of cultural products and their discursive study is analyzed, challenging readings that degrade his ideas about art and its position in culture. Thus, this analysis seeks to contribute to the philosophy of history, highlighting the relevance of Hegel’s work in the understanding of rationality and historicity in the context of the philosophy of history
