Discussion

Main Content：

The Phenomenology of Spirit was conceived as an a priori science of the experience which human finite consciousness had made from its humble beginnings in post-animal sensuous perception to the eventual appearance of the true philosophical science: in Schelling’s (and Hegel’s early) theory of the Absolute as subject-object-identity. Its aim was to show that each shape of consciousness in a long series of such shapes was untrue and led to its respective successor, with the final shape, absolute knowing, collapsing consciousness as such into speculative pure thinking, the topic of theLogic. Later Hegel thought and said that theScience of Logic could be started right away without such preliminary work, directly by the mere decision to think purely and without presuppositions.

In this second lecture, after an overview of the programme of Phenomenology, we will ask (a) what it might mean to try to build up a presuppositionless theory and (b) how such a theory could be started. It will be shown that we need to distinguish between two levels of thinking: our own background theory or background logic, in which we (i.e. Hegel and his readers) design the intended foreground theory or foreground logic, which is pure thinking in the strict sense of the word. Then the first theme of the foreground logic, pure being, is introduced, and it is shown that pure logical foreground thinking and its theme are in fact identical: Pure and empty being is nothing other than the presuppositionless thinking of pure and empty being. Thus, the foreground logic and its object coincide.
