Hegel places Anthropology at the beginning of the formation of the subjective spirit, seeking to reconcile body and soul. Beyond the reconciliation of substances is the discussion of the materialism-idealism dichotomy. In Hegelian anthropology, body and soul are not independent substances, but moments in a process of development. The difference between them is immanent to the totality of the spirit. Based on the Vorlesungen über die Philosophie des subjektiven Geistes and the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences, this paper takes a deeper look at Hegelian anthropology. The aim is to elucidate the role of immanent difference in the constitution of totality and how this dynamic manifests itself in the relationship between body and soul, nature and spirit, materialism and idealism.
