The author does a hegelian interpretation of Metaphysics XII, 7, 1072b 18-30, passage with which the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences concludes. Here are drawn the relations and similitudes that exist between Aristotle's Unmoved Mover and Hegel's Absolute. In order to understand in which points both thinkers coincide when describing divine thought, it is highly important to analyze the notions of thought, movement, power, act, concept, object, material substance, formal substance and suprasensible substance. The interpretative turn that Hegel does of Metaphysics and the comparative reading here offered, point towards a better understanding of the nature of the Unmoved Mover and the Absolute.
