“The Hegelian method, therefore, is not at all ‘dialectical’: it is purely contemplative and descriptive, or better, phenomenological in Husserl’s sense of the term.”
Conceito & conceito: “Like the Spirit or the Idea, each Concept is hence double and single at the same time; it is both ‘subjective’ and ‘objective’, both real thought of a real entity and a real entity really thought. The real aspect of the Concept is called ‘object’ (Gegenstand), ‘given-Being’ (Sein), ‘entity that exists as a given-Being’ (Seiendes), ‘In-itself’ (Ansich), and so on. (…) [e agora as coisas menos importantes em H.] and occasionally ‘concept’ (Begriff) in the common sense (when Hegel says: nur Begriff).” “in the Truth — Knowledge is purely passive adequation to essential-Reality.”
“When all is said and done, the ‘method’ of the Hegelian Scientist consists in having no method or way of thinking peculiar to his Science. The naive man, the vulgar scientist, even the pre-Hegelian philosopher — each in his way opposes himself to the Real and deforms it by opposing, his own means of action and methods of thought to it. The Wise Man, on the contrary, is fully and definitively reconciled with everything that is: he entrusts himself without reserve to Being and opens himself entirely to the Real without resisting it. His role is that of a perfectly flat and indefinitely extended mirror: he does not reflect on the Real; it is the Real that reflects itself on him, is reflected in his consciousness, and is revealed in its own dialectical structure by the discourse of the Wise who describes it without deforming it.
If you please, the Hegelian ‘method’ is purely ‘empirical’ or ‘positivist’: Hegel looks at the Real and describes what he sees, everything that he sees, and nothing but what he sees. In other words, he has the ‘experience’ (Erfahrung) of dialectical Being and the Real, and thus he makes their ‘movement’ pass into his discourse which describes them.”
“science is born from the desire to transform the World in relation to Man; its final end is technical application. That is why scientific knowledge is never absolutely passive, nor purely contemplative and descriptive. Scientific experience perturbs the Object because of the active intervention of the Subject, who applies to the Object a method of investigation that is his own and to which nothing in the Object itself corresponds.”
EXPLICAÇÃO DADA AO CHOQUE: “And we can even say that, in a certain way, Hegel was the first to abandon Dialectic as a philosophic method. He was, at least, the first to do so voluntarily and with full knowledge of what he was doing.”
“In Aristotle the dialectical method is less apparent than in Plato. But it continues to be applied. It becomes the aporetic method: the solution of the problem results from a discussion (and sometimes from a simple juxtaposition) of all possible opinions — that is, of all opinions that are coherent and do not contradict themselves. And the dialectical method was preserved in this ‘scholastic’ form until our time in both the sciences and philosophy.”
“It was in the form of Cartesian meditation that the dialectical method was used by the authors of the great philosophical ‘systems’ of the 17th and 18th centuries: from Descartes to Kant-Fichte-Schelling.”
“Thus, Hegel’s Science is ‘dialectical’ only to the extent that the Philosophy which prepared it throughout History has been (implicitly or explicitly) dialectical.”
“History is what judges men, their actions and their opinions, and lastly their philosophical opinions as well.”
RIDÍCULA HAGIOGRAFIA: “He can find it all alone, while sitting tranquilly in the shade of those ‘trees’ which taught Socrates nothing, but which teach Hegel many things about themselves and about men.”
“In short, Hegel does not need a dialectical method because the truth which he incarnates is the final result of the real or active dialectic of universal History, which his thought is content to reproduce through his discourse.”
