Example text
Enough then of introducing, let us actually begin our approach to the absolute. 1 Consciousness and the Transcendental Deduction very stage of the Phenomenology is filled with obscure allusions to other texts—both philosophical and literary. Lauer thinks we should be slow in concluding just which texts Hegel has in mind. He suggests that Hegel may not have been sure himself or that he wanted to refer to an amalgam of positions. 1 These points are well taken. Hegel’s allusions are like those found in a novel.
Hegel is often studied in opposition, especially, to Marxist philosophy. Here he is studied in order to reclaim him from the complex process of appropriation, criticism, and transformation he underwent at the hands of Marx. Scholars who study Hegel in this way often write as if Marx had no business appropriating “their” Hegel. They somehow fail to recognize that Marx was a Hegelian—perhaps more so than they. While I certainly do not want to reduce Hegel to somebody’s precursor, neither do I want to reclaim him from anyone.
The only way to understand this is as a relation—a relation grasped by concepts. As Stern points out, relations do not fit easily within an ontology in which properties belong to individual things. Relations do not belong to single things. 18 At any rate, they do not behave like properties. For Hegel, then, the only way to grasp a thing’s oneness-for-consciousness together with its diversity-in-itself is as a conceptual relation, not as a thing with properties. The thing-property model is supposed to give us a unified thing with diverse properties.
