dc.description.abstractThis study is centered on the idealism of George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 - 1831). It is anchored on a tripod of theme, problem and methodology. The theme of this study is Hegel’s idealism. The problem is the status of women in Hegel’s idealism, and the methodology is postmodernist phenomenological ontology. This tripod of theme, problem and methodology is further premised on the theoretical framework of Inter-subjectivity which offers us the opportunity to explore the polarity in Hegel’s idealism as it relates to women. The work is primarily a critique of Hegel’s idealism from a postmodernist phenomenologico–ontological perspective. The critique of Hegel idealism focuses on his dialectics which is the logic of Hegel’s idealism. In other words, if Hegel’s idealism projects dialectically, and if in this dialectics of reason; (a) matter stands in opposition to reason that is, spirit, (b) it follows that there is an antagonistic reciprocity between reason (spirit) and matter, (c) leading to a lopsided reconciliation of this antagonism. The implication here is that synthesis in Hegel’s idealism is not the synthesis of opposites, but the reconciliation of spirit to itself. By the foregoing, if Hegel’s idealism is made the foundation for human interrelationship, it will always create a polarity between the sexes and among the races. The polarity of sexes rather bifurcates the male and female gender, than reconcile them, thereby posing a dangerous precedent if left unresolved. The objective of the study therefore is to unmask and resolve the polarity in Hegel’s idealism. It is in the light of this that we embarked on a postmodernist phenomenologico – ontological deconstruction of Hegel’s idealism, in order to posit a pluralist platform that will inculcate a win–win temperament; hence, acting as a basis for ameliorating the so much diversity among the sexes, thereby promoting the orientation of gender neutrality.en_US
