Hegel and the Trinity

Abstract

What we have tried to show in this essay are the extraordinary affinities between the first three categories of Hegelian logic (in particular the logic of Being) and the forms of the Christian Trinity as it is theorized by Gregory of Nyssa in the context of a precise and peremptory response to the heresy of Eunomio. Even if the “non” of Trinitarian dialecticism is absolutely not reducible to the sense of the Hegelian aufhebung.
