Abstract
Hegelian speculative thought structures its movement through immediately reflected change of opposites. This exchange within elements isn’t merely shifting heterogeneous objects as it doesn’t concern objects’ ontological condition either. The speculative is the opening where the internal constitution and effectiveness of any element is questioned and revealed as simultaneous and immediate overcome of subject and object since the horizon of this opening concerns the absolute conditions of content and form and where the method self-reflected within premises is questioned too. For the true Concept of philosophy, Hegel shows, immediate beginning of knowledge is immediate beginning of Being; and advancement from pure indeterminateness to determinate being’s development supposes self-mediation of the same absolute immediacy, since ineluctably the speculative can’t admit suppositions’ arbitrariness. But such radical endeavor is accomplishable if the ultimate truth of Being (Wesen) is absolutely mediated immediacy — namely Actuality (Wirklichkeit) is the expression of absolutely self-mediated absolute immediate Identity. This fundamental principle is mirrored in the Trinitarian ground of the Hegelian speculative philosophy which is the main doctrinal postulate that permeates the entire metaphysical endeavor of the German thinker. In this, Hegel was singular, although the initiative of rebuilding philosophy without any prior supposition is not exclusively Hegelian. We can think about the Husserlian epoché as a project of redefining the limits of apodictic philosophy and the eidetic variation as the grounds for his fundamental insight (Einsicht). However, we have found that Husserlian phenomenology is yet deriving its entire structure within the realm of determinacy where the principle of determinate, and thus of formal identity, dominates. Hegelian identity is established precisely by an absolute rupture from formal relations and is an eminent case of a speculative opening towards the premises of a transcendent thinking whose eminence would ground the ultimate sight of genuine identity of appearance and essence, of thought and being. Keywords: Hegel, Husserl, Maldiney, speculative logic, absolute identity, immediacy, mediation, phenomenology.
Highlights
Being illuminates all phenomenal manifestation and all phenomenal manifestation supposes something prior to it
Instead of beginning with the reduction of every instance of mediation to immediacy and of immediately finding that immediacy posits itself as mediation and mediation as immediacy, Hegel’s Phenomenology... opens up and unfolds as a speculative propedeutics which teaches the subject how to overcome the one-sided suppositions of formal and natural thought
Since Becoming is put as unity, and unity is not the concept of absolute Immediacy, it results that the entire Hegelian speculative movement of absolute beginning in and through Immediacy is founded on the absolute ineffable Immediacy which, as above quoted, is implicitly put aside by Hegel as the immediate point of the self-opening of mediation
Summary
Being illuminates all phenomenal manifestation and all phenomenal manifestation supposes something prior to it. Opens up and unfolds as a speculative propedeutics which teaches the subject how to overcome the one-sided suppositions of formal and natural thought In both instances, the logical and the phenomenological, the speculative reveals a fundamental departure from every method of philosophical exposition that has been formulated up to author’s times — as a concrete prerequisite of the absolute difference towards any presupposition. The logical and the phenomenological, the speculative reveals a fundamental departure from every method of philosophical exposition that has been formulated up to author’s times — as a concrete prerequisite of the absolute difference towards any presupposition This is the reason for which the speculative thought is not making the same reduction of determined or phenomenal realities as Cartesian or Husserlian phenomenology does
