L’impronta hegeliana nella «Storia dell’essere»

Although Hegel has been often dismissed by Heidegger as a representative of metaphysical “ontotheology”, a sort of crypto-Hegelianism can be discovered in his “History of Being”, where Hegel is neither criticized nor even mentioned anyway. Both authors share the basic idea of a higher design, according to which all main positions regarding Being, resp. the Absolute, follow each other in their proper place. Such a logical unfolding is nothing but the Being, resp. the Absolute itself. Yet the process includes in both cases the negative moment, appearing as the historical phenomenon of modern godlessness. On the higher order, both Being and the Absolute allow somehow to endure a refusal. Hegel and Heidegger differ insofar the former advises a philosophical solution of the “speculative Good Friday”, whereas the latter emphasizes the disastrous outcome of the Metaphysics, just waiting that a radical change maybe could happen.
