Hegel’s Dialectics

Dialectics drives to the “Absolute”,… which is the last, final, and completely all-encompassing or unconditioned concept or form in the relevant subject matter under discussion (logic, phenomenology, ethics/politics and so on). The “Absolute” concept or form is unconditioned because its definition or determination contains all the other concepts or forms that were developed earlier in the dialectical process for that subject matter…We can picture the Absolute Idea, for instance—which is the “Absolute” for logic—as an oval that is filled up with and surrounds numerous, embedded rings of smaller ovals and circles, which represent all of the earlier and less universal determinations from the logical development. [Fig. 1].

Since the “Absolute” concepts for each subject matter lead into one another, when they are taken together, they constitute Hegel’s entire philosophical system, which, as Hegel says, “presents itself therefore as a circle of circles”. We can picture the entire system like this [Fig. 2].

IO represents the underlying reality—the boundless immutable principle….The principle contains a duality—the I and the O—Absolute Self and Absolute Space. Neither is dominant for neither exists without the other.

Cosmic ideation is the product of the coming together of this primary duality to produce consciousness or the world soul—the sense of ‘self in manifestation’. For the Self to be conscious it needs a sheath to become self-aware in.
