Representation failure or How to survive in the realm of shadows (quest for the keys to Hegel’s “Science of Logic” — key No. 2)

Abstract

In this paper, causes of the complexity of Hegel's philosophical language is being investigated. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that they are not as much individually psychological, as objective, and are associated with the knowledge structure per se, which is obtained in the framework of various scientific disciplines. This knowledge altogether forms a “circle”, and therefore it is not possible to discover its fundamental basis from which knowledge should be derived. This imposes a number of significant restrictions on the operations that can be performed with the concepts of logic. These operations make full use of other research programs, precisely because they avoid the global challenge given by Hegel. Consequently, the ambitiousness of the task, the high stakes associated with it, accompanying its implementation, doom Hegel to use such a philosophical language, which is considered to be “extremely difficult”, “rigid”, “entangled”.
