Hans-Georg Gadamer on Hegel - Dictionary of Arguments
I 349 Hegel/Dialectics/Gadamer: The criticism that has been made against [the] philosophy of absolute reason from the most diverse positions by Hegel's critics cannot assert itself before the consequence of total dialectical self-mediation, as Hegel described it in particular in his phenomenology, the science of appearing knowledge. Cf. >Reflection/Hegel. VsHegel/Gadamer: That the other must be experienced not as the other of myself, embraced by pure self-consciousness, but as the other, as "you", this prototype of all objections to the infinity of Hegelian dialectic, does not seriously affect him. See as an example: >Recognition/Hegel. HegelVsVs/Gadamer: The polemic against the absolute thinker is itself without position. The Archimedean point of unhinging Hegelian philosophy can never be found in reflection. >Absoluteness/Hegel. This is what makes the formal quality of the philosophy of reflection that there can be no position that is not included in the reflective movement of the consciousness coming to itself. The insistence on immediacy - be it that of bodily nature, be it that of the "you" making demands, be it that of the impenetrable reality of historical coincidence or that of the reality of the conditions of production - has always disproved itself, insofar as it is itself not an immediate behaviour but a reflective action. I 375 Hegel/Dialectics/Gadamer: But the originality of the conversation as the reference of question and answer still shows itself even in such an extreme case as Hegelian dialectic as a philosophical method. To unfold the totality of thought determinations, as it was the concern of Hegel's logic, is, as it were, the attempt in the great monologue of the modern "method" to embrace the continuum of meaning, the particular realization of which is provided by the conversation of the speakers. When Hegel sets himself the task of liquefying and putting spirit in (sic) the abstract determinations of thought, this means melting logic back into the consummative form of language, the concept back into the meaning of the word that asks and answers - a reminder, still in failure, of what dialectic actually was and is. Hegel's Dialectic is a monologue of thought that seeks to achieve in advance what gradually matures in each real conversation. >Dialektics, >Dialektics/Hegel, >G.W.F.
