This paper challenges the association of Hegel with political realism. Many approaches rely predominantly on the Philosophy of Right ’s third part (the State) and on the Phenomenology of Spirit ’s ‘master‒slave’ dialectic, classifying Hegel as a political realist who praises the state, glorifies war and dismisses international law. However, this oversimplifies Hegel’s thought and misinterprets his methodology. The thesis of this paper is that these misperceptions can be avoided once: (i) Hegel’s corpus is considered coherently; (ii) the context of his philosophical thought is taken into account; and (iii) his insights cease to be applied in a descriptive or prescriptive way. Hegel’s contribution will be revisited by way of treating the Phenomenology of Spirit as the point of departure to comprehend the Philosophy of Right . Approaching the Philosophy of Right through the Phenomenology ’s emphasis on the forms of consciousness, spirit ( Geist ) and ethical life ( Sittlichkeit ), reveals the intellectual wealth of Hegel’s methodology while exposing the methodological flaws of realism.

挑战黑格尔与政治现实主义的联系：黑格尔的方法论见解对现实主义批判以及对战争和国家的更丰富理解的贡献

本文挑战了黑格尔与政治现实主义的联系。许多方法主要依赖于法哲学的第三部分（国家）和精神现象学的“主奴”辩证法，将黑格尔归类为一个赞美国家、美化战争和蔑视国际法的政治现实主义者。然而，这过度简化了黑格尔的思想并曲解了他的方法论。本文的论点是，这些误解可以一次性避免： (i) 黑格尔的语料库被认为是连贯的；(ii) 考虑到他的哲学思想的背景；(iii) 他的见解不再以描述性或规定性的方式应用。黑格尔的贡献将通过将精神现象学作为理解法哲学的出发点来重新审视。
