The Conclusion briefly clarifies the structure of the logic of the Concept which, according to Hegel, is the realm of genuine freedom. In Hegel’s view, modern society as a whole is the actualization of the logic of the Concept, and the excessive disturbances of the economy can be successfully tamed by the rational intervention of the state. Using Marx’s early Critique of Hegel’s Doctrine of the State, I argue that the transition from the logic of essence to the logic of the Concept in capitalism necessarily fails. According to Marx, the state in capitalism cannot in principle function as the universal, and necessarily remains a capitalist state.
