Faust and the Phenomenology of Spirit

The author discusses the views of G. Lukács and E. Bloch regarding the relationship between Hegel's dialectics of history and the philosophy implicit in Goethe's play Faust. Drawing parallels between the two masterpieces, the author argues that the complex character of Faust may be interpreted as a fundamental formation (Gestalt) of consciousness underlying Hegel's phenomenological project. The notions of dialectical journey, negativity, and the fulfilled instant, are critically examined with reference to Lukács's and Bloch's readings of Faust and the Phenomenology of Spirit.
