Abstract: The duality between the supersensible and the sensible world is integrated by Hegel into a broader dialectical vision of Plato's thought. Within this perspective, several themes and dilemmas arise, including the philosopher as a contemplator of perfect Ideas but also as a leader of the ideal world, the autonomy of consciousness in its evolution towards absolute knowledge, the moral progress of humanity starting from the Platonic assumption of the Divinity as Demiurge, happiness and the enigma of evil in the conceptual-ethical opening anticipating Christianity, and the risks of stagnation at the level of the utopian city. This text attempts to highlight the Hegelian dialectical approach to these proposed subjects, at the dawn of universal philosophy, by Plato's thought.
