Résumé : What is at stake in the moment of the happy consciousness as it is developed in the margins of the chapters of the Phenomenology of the Spirit on aesthetic religion and manifest religion? Various interpretations are considered, which clarify notably the distinction between the notions of contrast (Kontrast) and of contradiction (Widerspruch), the role of the comic in Hegel's philosophy, the importance of Blessedness (Seligkeit) and of happiness (Glückseligkeit) (transl. by J. Dudley). © 2010 Revue Philosophique de Louvain.
