This book explores an overlooked area in Hegel studies: his use of
‘individuality’ (Individualität). Hegel joined a lively
conversation, from Leibniz to Romanticism and beyond, about this
novel concept/phenomenon. Successive chapters track Hegel’s
engagement, in such texts as the Phenomenology, Encyclopedia, and
Aesthetics. Hegel’s system tends to follow a syllogistic logic
(universal, particular, singular), but ‘individuality’ departs
from the norm. The category enacts a certain pragmatics (as against
semantics or syntactics) regarding tacit assumptions at work or
implicit terms of address, which requires active participation by a
thinking subject charged with discerning individuality (which bars
resort to explicit rules). The category reflexively implicates the
user even in presuming an objective context. ‘Individuality’
should not be confused with ‘individualism,’ wholly distinct in
origin. Moreover, Hegel’s Aesthetics embraces a paradoxical
anachronism. Like ‘art’ itself, ‘individuality’ emerged as
an essentially modern category, though one transferred to the past
and to distant cultures.
