THE PRINCIPLE OF SELF-ORGANIZATION IN HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY

The article analyzes the nature of the source of self-movement, self-organization. The principle of bifurcation of living systems into material and ideal forms is investigated. Hegel calls such a structure, which underlies the principle of living systems, a concept by which the inner goal, the soul, is understood. In this question, he refers to Kant and Aristotle. The focus is on Spinoza’s principle of “the cause of oneself” and Aristotle’s principle of the living “the end in itself”, which expresses the essence of living beings. The problem of how to understand the nature of the concept in epistemological or ontological terms is analyzed. According to A. Deborin, the concept should be understood as an epistemological category, an instrument of thinking. Concepts have found their place in the human head of the subject of cognition. However, according to Hegel, the concept is an inner goal, the ideal soul of living beings. Therefore, the concept as an attribute of the living appears much earlier than the evolution of man as a subject of cognition. These two opposing points of view affect the essence of the development of the concept as the principle underlying the idea. From a scientific point of view, all living things are divided into two opposite forms, genotype and phenotype. A genotype is genetic information, and a phenotype is a developing organism. In this case, the information form passes into material realization in the form of an emerging organism in embryogenesis. Of interest is Hegel’s analysis of the nature of matter, which acts as the primary in the process of sensory perception. The source of self-movement, self-organization, is structurally bifurcated into an ideal and a material form, while each of the opposite forms removes its opposite. As a result, the two shapes turn out to be closed on each other, forming a ring system. There is a process of constant reproduction, a cycle or a “closed loop”. K. Marx called such a process in relation to commodity-money relations “perpetum mobile”.
