INCOMPLETE SPIRIT AS RELIGION'S PRE-EMINENT MOMENT IN HEGEL'S PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION

I intend to examine here some aspects of Hegel's short statement regarding the place of revealed religion from the 1830 Encyclopedia, from the angle of whether Hegel is attempting to force religious spirit into a philosophically significant framework which shortchanges or misunderstands it. My intuition is that Hegel is losing sight of spirit as what I will call the >given-ness of incompleteness<; a revelation of >unknowing<, manifested in religion in three ways in particular. In the first place religion is grounded upon the spirit's >oracle< of the fragmented and incomplete world of representations; in the second place religiosity is not merely born of the wickedness of the fragmented spirit's distance from the eternal, but is nurtured by that distance, so that from religion's viewpoint wickedness as an external moment of the spirit is never truly displaced; and thirdly, it is not quite plausible from the standpoint of the Absolute Religion as represented, that wickedness is reducible to an internal and bridgeable negativity. Having argued these, I conclude that the claim of philosophy to encompass or bear a pre-eminence over religion, is misplaced, if Hegel is making that claim.
