The article focuses on the question to what extend Hegel announces the end of religion as the specific form of the understanding of the world and thus anticipates the gradual secularization of Western culture. This question proceeds from the claim of Tereza Matějčková (from her book Hegel’s Phenomenology of the World) that the “end” announced by Hegel is not to be understood in the temporal sense but in the sense of completion, i.e. as the exposure of the principle that becomes the “center” of a new perspective. It is not author’s ambition to adjudicate this old controversy regarding the interpretation of Hegel’s claim about the end of religion; she merely brings arguments supporting the interpretation of Tereza Matějčková as well as those opposing it.
