La Bildung en la semilla del Sistema: posibilidad de libertad

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the experience of alienation in postmodernity, a new sensibility conditioned by the limited experiences of the previous stage: Modernity. A historical-hermeneutic journey is proposed around these two stages: Modernity and Postmodernity. Their characteristics, their connections and their differences are explained schematically. The aim of this paper is to see the genesis of the problem of postmodern alienation from modern Enlightenment thought and its consequences in the present and to open a new discussion on the possibility of continuing to think about the present from other, non-alienating logics. To this end, the Hegelian concept of Bildung will be emphasised. The central thesis of this paper is that the concept outlined in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit allows us to think about postmodern alienation in an overcoming way, not only from an analytical logic but from a speculative logic that shows the conditions for its overcoming. The concept lies in the experience of an increasingly negative path, that is, a dialectical dynamic. It is the process of the formation of conscience in its elevation to science, that is, the experience of a dialectical journey in which conscience is alienated in the exterior, not to lose itself but to recover and rediscover itself in its truth. To unravel the conceptual content of the above-mentioned term and to identify the register in which it is used, the exhibition will follow a hermeneutic analysis of the different interpretations of the idea of Bildung by contemporary exegetes and an exegesis of selected passages from the Phenomenology of the Spirit.
