Virtue or Duty?Hegelian Considerations on an Apparent Disjunction
Abstract
This article explores Hegel’s discussion and appropriation of Aristotle andKant within his Outlines of the Philosophy of Right. In the interpretation I want toput forward, I claim that Hegel has relevant and systematic reasons to argue fora point of view in which neither virtue nor duty have, as ethical categories, theupper hand in practical philosophy. By doing this, I intend to show that Hegelprovides us with important elements to think that virtue and deontological ethicsdo not have to be necessarily conceived as if they were antagonistically opposedto each other.References
