| Summary: | The author shows that Hegel's philosophy entails a radical criticism of an ordinary conception of thinking. Breaking with the habitual presuppositions of modern philosophy and common sense, the author explains that thought, negation, truth, reflection and dialectic for Hegel are not properties of an I and cannot be reduced to the subjective activity of a self-conscious subject. Rather, he elucidates, thought is objective for Hegel in different senses. Reality as a whole is animated by a movement of thought and unconscious logic as a spontaneity that reifies itself in determinate forms. The author concludes the book with a comprehensive comparison of Hegel's and Kant's concepts of reason. |
