Wirklichkeit or effective reality in 'Principes de la Philosophie du Droit' by Hegel

Kant entirely reversed the concept of actuality (Wirklichkeit) as held in the last phase of scholasticism by maintaining the irreducibility of actuality (Wirklichkeit) as compared with the concept. Actuality for him is existing reality. Hegel amplifies the disjunction between actuality (Wirklichkeit) and reality (Realitdt). Reality (Realitat), not being reflected in itself, has no truth, whereas actuality (Wirklichkeit) is the manifestation of the Idea as the actual (wirklich) concept. In the Elements of the Philosophy of Right, Hegel presents the actualisation (Verwirklichung) of the concept of right in the Idea of objective Spirit. He is not satisfied with applying the unity of essence and of existence in the Idea as set out in his Logic. It is the concept of right which gives to itself actuality (Wirklichkeit), thereby realising the decision proper to free will. The State is the actuality (Wirklichkeit) of the Spirit in its objectivity; therefore it takes on substantiality (Substantialitat) subjectively as the Gesinnung of the citizen attached to it by patriotism and objectively as an organism structured according to a kind of composition (Zusammensetzung) called constitution. The self-realisation of the Idea of the State in its philosophical actuality (Wirklichkeit) then presents itself as philosophy of right raising empirical reality to the level of objective Spirit.
