Lecture Description

In this twenty-sixth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on the fifty-ninth and sixtieth paragraphs of the text, from the Preface.

In these two paragraphs, Hegel is contrasting the speculative or dialectical approach with the "argumentative" or "ratiocinative" approach. Both of them work with negativity, but the negativity of the argumentative mode of thought is merely negative and lapses into a stance of vanity or futility. The dialectical approach, working with the concept or notion (Begriff), incorporates the negative within the content, making it also positive, and leads to the determinate negative or determinate negation.

Hegel discusses how this works for both approaches in terms of the traditional terms of logic and communication -- Subject, Predicate, and Accident. In speculative thinking, the Subject is not passive, but enters into its own determinations (i.e. predicates and accidents) thereby becoming concrete, becoming a self-moving Substance (or essence or Notion) for the observing human Subject.
