The following contribution attempts to study the meaning of the pure personality, which appears at the end of the Hegelian Science of logic, and is thus the right and final name for the concept. With such a name Hegel means the pure affirmation of freedom in its identity with the absolute negativity. To make the point clear, it will be first necessary to clarify the Hegelian meaning of the person in the field of the objective spirit, where it leads up to the figure of the Emperor as the absolute person(Phenomenology of spirit). But, beyond the rigidity of this last one, the Hegelian person is the name of the subject as he decides. Such a decision is thought by Hegel as a creation, the personality is already the identity of will and intelligence, and from its objective appearance it is then possible to go to the decision of the absolute Idea in its own affirmation as the absolute knowledge, that is, to the Hegelian identity of substantial truth and personal subject.
