A Study on Hegel and Heidegger’s Space-Temporality

Hegel seek Time and Space in the relation to Geist through Kant, who prensents them as the “a priori” formal conditional. The reason why Hegel explore Time in the relation to Geist is because the time of the finite can not see the world being as the relative thing of the spiritual to he natural. Thus Hegel presupposes an dominant of Time over Space, overcomes the empirical-categorical definition of Being, analyzes the relation of Time to Space as the movement of a spiritual-categorical idea. But Heidegger insists that Hegel’s understanding conceals primordial Time created by Being. Because the Now is just the ordinary time in his point of view. Time should be able to be experienced as a ecstatic field in which the truth of being is manifested. In this context, this study elucidates Hegel and Heidegger’s concept of Time and Space, find out that Hegel’s dialectical time is the continuation of traditional metaphysics which fails to reflect the reality of human beings.
