Abstract

The main objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between the three stages of Hegelian ethics evolution: the abstract right, individual morality, and social ethics with the triples of the family, society and state in the process of the dialectic of Hegel's consciousness. This research study the dialectical role of consciousness in the context of one's moral development (family, civil society, and state) in a systematic process of moral education and concerning one another. To achieve this goal has been used as a descriptive-analytical approach. By examining the Hegelian texts, it is possible to understand the relationship between his moral system with the dialectic of consciousness, and finally to deduce the ideas of Hegelian moral education. The findings show that Hegel's system of moral education is based on the three areas of family, community, and state, each of which is closely linked to the three stages of his dialectic of consciousness. On this basis, the default model of Hegel's moral education is outlined, which seeks to illustrate the relationship between the triplets involved in the evolution of one's moral life. Bildung, as the first step, has an infrastructure called the family in which individual education is based on abstract ethics. The second stage has been created in an infrastructure called civil society, in which emphasis has been placed on individual social education. Ultimately, the combination of these two steps is the final stage of the Hegelian moral education model, which has been formed as an Aufhebung.
