This paper proposes an interpretation of Hegel’s «Anthropologie» intended to present the concept of the human nature that, even when Hegel did not intend it, derives from this section of his Enzyklopädie. To this end, we will analyze some phenomena discussed by Hegel, such as the child in its mother’s womb, the magnetic somnambulism, etc. The concluding idea will be that the soul (Seele), which is the object of the «Anthropologie», operates as an intersection —between nature and spirit, sensitivity and understanding, etc.— just as imagination has operated throughout the history of metaphysics.
