“…Although there is no clear sense of kinship on this point, it makes sense to look at Hegel's ruminations about the death of God earlier in the nineteenth century. Scholars remain divided over the ultimate place that this motif has in his philosophy overall, something which Paolo Diego Bubbio refers to as “…the reality of the death of God problem [,]” which can be represented as a spectrum from the allegorical to the real (Bubbio 2015, 696–97, emphasis removed).…”

The proclamation of the death of God came at a pivotal time in the history of humankind. It far transcended the concerns of the religious faithful and dented the entire fabric of human existence. Left to its own devices, humans intended their consciousness to replace God's. This proved to be a terrible mistake that collapsed the entire modern project. One of the worldviews that emerged in the wake of this eruption was antinatalism, which refers to the conviction that human reproduction should be brought to an absolute halt. This is the most modern outgrowth of the death of God and represents the most radical face of secular humanism. In spite of the admittedly dark fumes that leak out from the term 'antinatalism', this philosophical position emerges quite naturally when we consider the depletion of our traditional sources of philosophical enquiry.

This article explores the concept of the death of God in Hegel's philosophy and its implications for his political thought. It argues that Hegel's notion of the death of God involves a Christological kenotic sense of self-emptying, which extends beyond his philosophy of religion to impact his entire philosophical system, including politics, given that Hegel considers that the state consists in the march of God. The paper aims to interpret Hegel’s stance on the death of God as kenotic and its integration into his system, with the purpose of addressing how this kenotic structure manifests in concrete conceptions of the state. Specifically, it examines the enigmatic figure of the Hegelian monarch as a kenotic-political figure. Finally, it concludes that Hegel's political thought consists of a political theology of kenosis, which is more concerned with the divestment of power rather than a plenipotentiary paradigm.
