Ausführung and Prüfung: Hegel’s use of the 'we' in the Phenomenology of Spirit

The Specter of Hegel in Coleridge's Biographia Literaria

by Ayon Maharaj

Journal of the History of Ideas 68.2 (April 2007), 279-304.

Yet... more Coleridge rarely mentions Hegel in his philosophical writings and seems to have read very little of Hegel's work. Yet I argue that Coleridge's criticisms of Schelling's philosophy—as recorded in letters and marginalia—betray remarkable intellectual affinities with his nearly exact contemporary Hegel, particularly in their shared doubts about Schelling's foundationalist intuitionism. With this background in place, I seek to demonstrate that volume one of Coleridge's Biographia Literaria is a radically self-undermining text: its philosophical argument, far from slavishly recapitulating Schelling's philosophy, remains haunted by a quasi-Hegelian skepticism toward intuition even as it advances intuition as the foundation of its theoretical edifice.

Hegel contra Schlegel; Kierkegaard contra de Man

His most vocal contemporary critic, the philosopher Hegel, sought to demonstrate that Schlegel’s theory of irony tacitly relied on certain problematic aspects of Fichte’s philosophy. While Schlegel’s theory of irony has generated seemingly endless commentary in recent critical discourse, Hegel’s critique of Schlegelian irony has gone neglected. This essay’s primary aim is to defend Hegel’s critique of Schlegel by isolating irony’s underlying Fichtean epistemology. Drawing on Søren Kierkegaard’s The Concept of Irony in the final section of this essay, I argue that Hegel’s critique of irony can motivate a dialectical hermeneutics that offers a powerful alternative both to Paul de Man’s poststructuralist hermeneutics and to recent cultural-studies-oriented criticism that tends to reduce literary texts to sociohistorical epiphenomena.

In seinem Anderen bei sich selbst zu sein: Toward a Recuperation of Hegel's Metaphysics of Agency

by Ayon Maharaj

I first briefly isolate the inadequacies of some dominant interpretations of Hegelian freedom and proceed to develop a more adequate theoretical frame by turning to Theodor Adorno. Then I interpret Hegel's notion of the freedom of the will in the Philosophy of Right in terms of his speculative metaphysics. Finally, I briefly examine Hegel's treatment of agency in the Phenomenology of Spirit in order to establish important continuities between the early and late Hegel.

Śrī Harṣa contra Hegel: Monism, Skeptical Method, and the Limits of Reason

by Ayon Maharaj

Remarkably, both Śrī Harṣa and Hegel attempt to defend a monistic standpoint exclusively by means of a sustained critique of non-monistic philosophical positions. I will argue, however, that Śrī Harṣa and Hegel diverge sharply in their specific views on the powers and limits of philosophy and on the precise nature of monistic reality. In stark contrast to Hegel, Śrī Harṣa claims that the non-dual reality of Brahman lies beyond reason and hence rejects the very possibility of a philosophical justification of monism. Moreover, while Hegel drives a wedge between thought and empirical praxis by assuming the radical “independence of reason,” Śrī Harṣa insists that how we think and reason depends on the nature of our mind, which is itself conditioned by how we live.

Négativité et logos dialectique chez le jeune Heidegger

Dans le cadre de cet article, nous entendons nous rapporter aux origines de leur différend et prendre la mesure des griefs du jeune Heidegger à l’endroit de la dialectique hégélienne. Nous tenterons en un second lieu de démontrer que son opposition frontale camoufle en fait une secrète appropriation, puisque Heidegger aurait préalablement fait sienne l’idée d’un usage productif de la négation en philosophie.

Hegel, Dünya Tarihi ve Özgürlük Mücadelesi Olarak Uluslararası İlişkiler

Hegel, tarihi, insanların ve belli ulus ve kültürleri temsil eden devletlerin birbirlerini karşılıklı olarak tanımaları için verdikleri bir özgürlük mücadelesi olarak tanımlamıştır. Hegel’in uluslararası ilişkiler kuramı da onun özgürlük mücadelesi olarak gördüğü tarih felsefesinin içine yerleştirilmelidir. Hegel’de devletlerin birbirini tanıması esası üzerine kurulmuş ve devletlerin hem bağımsız ve özgür kaldıkları, hem de bir arada yaşamalarını mümkün kılan bir uluslararası ilişkiler kuramı vardır. Bu nedenle çağdaş toplumların özgürlük mücadelelerini modern ulus devletin sınırları içerisinde tamamlayıp tarihin sona erdiğini ileri sürmek yanlış olur. Ancak Hegel’in felsefesi uyarınca devletlerarası ilişkilerdeki özgürlük mücadelesinin gelecekte ne şekil alacağını bilmek olası değildir zira “bir felsefenin çağdaş dünyayı aşabileceğini hayal etmek, bir kimsenin Rodos’u sıçrayıp aşabileceğini sanmak kadar saçmadır”.

Hegel: il momento giovanile e quello della maturità. Nel primo ("Scritti teologici giovanili") il pensiero hegeliano si esprime riprendendo la posizione rivoluzionaria dell'infinito creativo e doppiamente dialettico; nel secondo ("Fenomenologia dello Spirito", "Enciclopedia delle scienze filosofiche") questo principio viene astratto, separato e discriminato come fonte della giustificazione di un potere assoluto e della sua alleanza con le forze conservatrici e reazionarie (cfr. Congresso di Vienna).

On the ‘Undialectical’: Normativity in Hegel

by Iain Macdonald

Continental Philosophy Review, vol. 45, no. 1 (2012): 121-141.

Beginning with a general overview of dialectical normativity and what it might mean to be ‘undialectical’, the focus then shifts to a privileged example in Hegel’s writings: Sophocles’ Antigone. The central claim of the paper is the following: the very contradictions that fuel dialectical normativity can also trap individuals within an obsolete actuality, without immediate hope of escape. Indeed, the irreducible dependence of dialectical thinking upon the actions and decisions of individual consciousness expose it to the threat of continual stasis or regression. This ineliminable possibility of failure is what is here called the ‘undialectical’ moment of the dialectic, which Hegel understands rather as a negative condition of possibility of freedom and rationality.
