Abstract
The mystification which dialectic suffers in Hegel's hands, by no means prevents him from being the first to present its general form of working in a comprehensive and conscious manner. With him it is standing on its head. It must be turned right side up again, if you would discover the rational kernel within the mystical shell.1 1K. Marx, Capital, Vol. 1, Afterword to the second German edition, written 24 January 1873 (London: Lawrence & Wishart, 1974), p. 29. This essay investigates what the determinate content of the “rational kernel within the mystical shell” of the Hegelian method could be. The manner in which Hegel mystifies the dialectic is further connected with Marx's theoretical advice that it “must be turned right side up again.”
