How to Be Together beyond Corporations and Firms? Hegel at the “End of Capitalism”

corporation, poverty, civil society, “end of capitalism,” Hegel.Abstract
The text examines different assumptions of Hegel’s understanding of the corporation across various versions of his Lectures of the Philosophy of Right, given recent contemporary reflections on “the end of capitalism.” My intention is to take Hegel’s thematization of the poor and poverty, as well as the significance Hegel ascribes to common work and the constitution of a working group as the foundation of civil society, and formulate these as real conditions of a potential reconstruction of the corporative model and new common action.
