The purpose of this paper is to point out and explain the fundamental role that the formation (Bildung) of the individual plays in Hegel´s practical philosophy and, particularly, in one of his most important works: Elements of the Philosophy of Right. To this end, a formative reading of his theory of Ethical Life will be carried out, in order to demonstrate how the formation is articulated in an essential way with fundamental themes and concepts of this theory, such as the family, civil society, freedom, recognition and, especially, with the exercise of citizenship within the State.
