Abstract: Hegel ranks the major religious types in world history according to the basic principle of development from directness and naturalness to conceptuality and spirituality. Based on this, he points out that the limitations of Chinese religions such as Taoism lie in the inadequacy of the spiritual concept, or contingency, finitude and externality within the framework of absolute power and the limited subject. The "Tao" is grasped as the conceptual "measure", and Taoist cultivation is regarded as an abstract and lonely self-contemplation. Hegel's system construction is restricted by a highly Euro-rationalist stance, making it difficult to recognize the non-substantial and non-conscious object attributes of the "Tao" in the context of Chinese culture, as well as its characteristics of embodiment, comprehension and vitalization. However, the metaphysical foundation of Hegel's philosophy of religion explores the unity between being and non-being of the thinking category at the level of substance, which potentially has the possibility of convergence with the understanding of the existence and non-existence in Taoist Chongxuan (the profound mystery) thought.
