Some Differences in the Understanding of Hegel's Idea of Phenomenology; Reasons, categorizing and critical review

For Hegel, phenomenology is an Idea which is determined in the Phenomenology of Spirit. The importance of this fact is that, in spite of some accounts, this Idea is a concrete Idea with a determinate problem, issue, duty and position in Hegel’s system, not a general method for analyzing every philosophical discussion. However, based on some reasons which this paper discuses, there are some radical differences about the nature of this Idea and its position and its function. We rarely can see such a diversity concerning a book in the history of philosophy. In this paper, I talk around the very problem. I firstly, find the main reasons of genesis of this variety; after that, I find a structure for categorizing the different accounts of Hegel’s phenomenology. Finally, through making a critical review on the main approaches of Hegel’s phenomenology, I portray the necessity of offering a solution to this issue in order to achieving a kind of interpretive togetherness.
