In this article, passages on prejudice in Hegel’s writings are addressed and complemented with further thoughts on Hegel’s theory of recognition in relation to the practice of avoiding prejudice. Although Hegel did not develop his own theory of prejudice, reflections on prejudice appear at various points in Hegel’s oeuvre, for which Hegel’s reception of Kant and the moment of negativity play a key role. Moreover, although not always explicitly addressed as such, prejudices are implicitly relevant to Hegel’s dialectic. In his theory of recognition, prejudiced thought and action play a key role. Furthermore, Hegel’s writings contain practical examples that deal with the effects of prejudiced thinking. The article concludes with an outlook for possible further fields of research focusing on sense-certainty.
