  • Hegel and the Task of Biographical Narrative

    Open AccessAllen SpeightARTICLEEidos A Journal for Philosophy of…2026

    This paper explores some of Hegel’s key philosophical commitments concerning biographical narrative, drawing on the narrative aspects of his philosophy of agency in the Phenomenology of Spirit and Philosophy of Right. The important philosophical claim that lies behind both works is that the self is precisely what it does – or, in other words, a biographical subject is a series of actions that is open to construal. On Hegel’s analysis, this openne…

  • Artisans, Artists and Hegel's History of Art

    Open AccessAllen SpeightARTICLEHegel Bulletin2013

    This article examines Hegel's use of the distinction between ‘artist’ ( Künstler ) and ‘artisan’ ( Werkmeister ) in light of recent discussion about the ‘end’ of art and the distinction betweeen art and craft that, as some have argued, has been central to the concept of the fine arts since the eighteenth century. Hegel does employ an important distinction between artist and artisan, but he does so within a larger account of the continuum of forms…

  • Arendt and Hegel on the tragic nature of action

    Open AccessAllen SpeightARTICLEPhilosophy & Social Criticism2002

    Among the sources of Hannah Arendt's philosophy of action is an unexplored one: the account of agency in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit . Drawing on a consideration of what has been called the `dramaturgical' character of Arendt's philosophy of action, the article compares the accounts of action in Arendt's Human Condition and in the `Spirit' chapter of the Phenomenology. Both works share a similar overall structure: in each case, the account of…
