El presente texto quiere dar solucion a las preguntas ?como se presenta la idea de libertad en el derecho abstracto de Hegel? y ?cuales son sus implicaciones para el derecho penal? Estas intentan resolverse, utilizando como referente teorico principal a Fundamentos de la filosofia del derecho de Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, y utilizando a la dialectica hegeliana como metodo. El texto comprende que garantizar la realizacion de la libertad es el proposito del derecho abstracto, y que para ello, es necesario acudir a la coercion representada desde el derecho penal, lo que implica acceder a una vision de justicia retributiva, que pretende sancionar juridicamente a quien a traves del delito, niega una voluntad libre y universal de manera violenta, haciendo que por medio de la pena se le niegue la voluntad libre al delincuente. A partir de estas ideas, el texto concluye que la medida de la pena y la indemnizacion, conllevan a la aparicion de un derecho de caracter sancionador que restablece derechos violentados, tambien concluye que es evidente la influencia del pensamiento hegeliano en el derecho penal contemporaneo, de manera especifica en la teoria juridico-penal de la imputacion objetiva o funcionalismo penal. ABSTRACT The current text wants to solve the question: ?how the protection of freedom is presented through criminal law in abstract right? The question is being addressed, using as the main theoretical referral to G. W. F. Hegel´s and his book called “Fundamentals of the Philosophy of Right” and utilizing hegelian dialectics as the method for research and understanding purposes. The text concludes that ensuring the realization of freedom is the purpose of abstract right, and that for this is necessary to turn to coercion represented in criminal law, which implies accessing a vision of Retributive Justice, that intends to legally punish someone who, through crime, denies a “free and universal will” in a violent way, making that through the penalty, “free will” be denied to the criminal. From these ideas, the text concludes that punishment´s measure and compensation lead to the appearance of a right of disciplinary nature that restores the violated rights. It also concludes, that the influence of Hegelian thought in criminal contemporary law is evident, specifically in the Theory of Objective Attribution.
