Johannes Heinrichs: Reflexion und Dialektik
Grundzüge seiner integralen Philosophie – Eine systematische Werkdarstellung
📕 E-BookA comprehensive presentation and critical appreciation of the complete works of Johannes Heinrichs (1942-) – whose reflection-logical works are fundamental for the present Hegel reconstruction.
Johannes Heinrichs: The Unknown Integrator
Johannes Heinrichs is a significant systematic philosopher of our time who has remained largely unknown. His 40+ books and 150 essays over 50+ years – from the 5-volume theory of language to the elaborated theory of democracy – form the most comprehensive systematic philosophy since Hegel.
His reflection systems theory may offer the key to integrating all post-Hegelian insights.
The Four Reflection Levels of Intersubjectivity
Heinrichs’ decisive contribution: The systematic derivation of the four reflection levels from the Logic of Essence:
- Immediate reflection – The I in direct world-relation
- Positing reflection – The I distinguishing itself from the Other
- External reflection – Recognition of the Other as equal subject
- Determining reflection – Integration of I and You in “We”
These structures pervade all domains: Economy, Politics, Language/Culture, Religion.
