  Phenomenology of Spirit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hegel's work Phänomenologie des Geistes (1807) is called The Phenomenology of Spirit or The Phenomenology of Mind in English; the German word Geist has connotations of both spirit and mind in English.
"Phenomenology" comes from the Greek word for "to appear", and the phenomenology of mind is thus the study of how consciousness or mind appears to itself.

 Phenomenology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phenomenology is an approach to philosophy that takes the intuitive experience of phenomena (what presents itself to us in conscious experience) as its starting point and tries to extract from it the essential features of experiences and the essence of what we experience.
Now (transcendental) phenomenology is the study of the essential structures that are left in pure consciousness: this amounts in practice to the study of the noemata and the relations among them.
Daniel Dennett has criticized phenomenology on the basis that its explicitly first-person approach is incompatible with the scientific third-person approach, going so far as to coin the term autophenomenology to emphasize this aspect and to contrast it with his own alternative, which he calls heterophenomenology.

 Phenomenology
Phenomenology is the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view.
Phenomenology is commonly understood in either of two ways: as a disciplinary field in philosophy, or as a movement in the history of philosophy.
His phenomenology addressed the role of attention in the phenomenal field, the experience of the body, the spatiality of the body, the motility of the body, the body in sexual being and in speech, other selves, temporality, and the character of freedom so important in French existentialism.

 HEGEL'S PHENOMENOLOGY AND POSTMODERN THOUGHT
3   The Phenomenology of Spirit is a comprehension of modern philosophy in its development of the subject as certain of itself to the truth of that certainty, and the concomitant development of a 'free society'.
The phenomenal spirit of the modern age was [to become] occupied with the relation of religion, as so taken, and enlightened reason; the new beginning which Hegel discerned and delineated at a certain point in its development comprehended the terms of that division.
The role of the Phenomenology is central since it was explicitly intended by Hegel as the logical recapitulation of the standpoint of the finite or subjective spirit and the whole Christian and later modern-philosophical culture resting on it; as comprehended from the point of view of its perceived consummation in Hegel's time.

Phenomenology of Spirit as a propaedeutics to the Science of Philosophy, which is supposed to raise the individual to a self-cognition of itself as spirit.
Phenomenology, is correlated in the wider Hegelian context, with the dyads of time and eternity, of the positive and the negative, of being and becoming, of the circular and the linear, of the presence (existence) and the representation (essence) of the spirit.

Phenomenology may thus be styled a sort of philosophical-theology in which the truth of Christianity is no longer a matter of faith.
The movement is then for this phenomenal spirit to develop to a self-consciousness in which freedom is actually known as objectively as well as subjectively true, and ‘phenomenology’ is the reflective recapitulation of this self-development on the part of an infinite thinking that already has hold of the very concept of spirit.
Phenomenology presupposes this reconciliation as achieved in the concept of spirit, of a unity-in-difference in which the standpoint of experience, of the phenomenal spirit, is then superseded.

His spirit shows such poverty of nature that it seems to long for the mere pitiful feeling of the divine in the abstract, and to get refreshment from that, like a wanderer in the desert craving for the merest mouthful of water.
The spirit of man has broken with the old order of things hitherto prevailing, and with the old ways of thinking, and is in the mind to let them all sink into the depths of the past and to set about its own transformation.
The beginning of the new spirit is the outcome of a widespread revolution in manifold forms of spiritual culture; it is the reward which comes after a chequered and devious course of development, and after much struggle and effort.

 20th WCP: Phenomenology of the Spirit
The idea of spirit in its highest form takes a gathering character, where all is attracted by what Hegel called the world idea, an absolute spirit, and by what modern science understands as human psychological and social (consciousness) recognition.
If Hegel considered the absolute idea as the outcoming principle or substantial base of being, then a new phenomenology of spirit must be abstracted from the question stated of the primary and secondary character of the material and ideal in a global plan.
This new phenomenology of the spirit is based on the Hegelian and Marxist traditions’ overcomprehension in a quality of the main idea which takes up the subjective content and spiritual material base — its material-ideal nature.

Spirit has broken away from its former world of existence and imaging; it is about to sink all that into the past, and is busy shaping itself anew" (82).

 Notes on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit
The spirit is the actual, the relation of self to self, the self as object of otherness.

The Phenomenology is generally seen as the preface to Hegel's larger system with the last chapter of the Phenomenology providing a relation or bridge.
The Phenomenology can be seen as a stand alone text that makes the case for the need of a new way of knowing--the historicity and dialectical development of reason; a new way of knowing that stands in oppostion to the mathematical way of knowing favoured by Descartes, modern physics and now neo-classical economics.

In contrast, in Hegel's philosophy, it is the Spirit that, in and through Experience, organically unifies the various elements of reality in the process of development through articulating their relationships which both distinguish and relate of its element to each other to the unity at the same time.
This was accomplished by his extremely extended meaning of Reason (which is a result of the synthesis of Schelling's intuition (which is the basis of the philosophy of identity) and Leibniz' notion of "la raison" as principle and then Fichte's use of "Vernunft" as volition) and his pregnant notion and function of Negation.
This Spirit in Phenomenology of Spirit corresponds therefore the objective Spirit in opposition to the subjective Spirit in Hegel's later opus, Die Enzyklopädie der philosophischen Wissenschaften.
