Extend or Merge

I think there's a decisive case for keeping this page in its own right, the definition of Sittlichkeit is very useful and its current description is accurate and gives a flavour of Hegelian ethics. However it's bizarrely short and should definitely be extended. Suggested extensions would be:

Where in Hegel's work it is mentioned
Those who have (positively) utilised the concept of Sittlichkeit
Critics of this mode of view. (Chiefly that of Kierkegaard).
Modern use of the term

In general it would be useful to have a larger break down of Elements of the Philosophy of Right itself, however since that article is woefully short itself I can see that a general project of extending content on Hegel would be of use. Noxiyu (talk) 15:08, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am fully in favor of "Extend or Merge", because I consider this entry just a stub on Sittlichkeit. In fact it is just 'Sittlichkeit according to Hegel' and excludes any manifestations of Sittlichkeit prior and post Hegel.

In short, this is too one-sided for a Wikipedia entry.

This concept was introduced by Hegel and chiefly associated with him. There is also a paragraph about "Later German thinkers." Comments on the contemporary use of the term need to be added but that is another matter. --Omnipaedista (talk) 10:18, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article remains uncomplete

This article needs further information about the concept in the view of other philosophers. It is absurd to state that Sittlichkeit only originated or is only associated with hegel, and it misses important parts about kant and other main thinker’s who used the term too and shaped its meaning 2003:E4:1711:126C:58F7:8350:DC5D:8B28 (talk) 09:00, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
