Former la vie Bildung et forme de vie chez Hegel

This article aims to understand Hegel’s theory of Bildung by referring to the contemporary paradigm of “forms of life.” Hegel conceives of Bildung as an activity of forming life, an activity that turns the first nature into the second nature. In this respect, Hegel’s philosophy enters into a dialogue with contemporary social philosophy from a naturalistic point of view: it makes it possible to focus on the socialization of the natural body in relations of domination or recognition.
