Hegelian speculative thought structures its
movement through immediately reflected change of opposites. This exchange
within elements isn’t merely shifting heterogeneous objects as it doesn’t
concern objects’ ontological condition either. The speculative is the opening
where the internal constitution and effectiveness of any element is questioned
and revealed as simultaneous and immediate overcome of subject and object since
the horizon of this opening concerns the absolute conditions of content and form and where the method
self-reflected within premises is questioned too. For the true Concept of
philosophy, Hegel shows, immediate beginning of knowledge is immediate
beginning of Being; and advancement from pure indeterminateness to determinate
being’s development supposes self-mediation of the same absolute immediacy,
since ineluctably the speculative can’t admit suppositions’ arbitrariness. But
such radical endeavor is accomplishable if the ultimate truth of Being (Wesen) is absolutely mediated immediacy
— namely Actuality (Wirklichkeit) is
the expression of absolutely self-mediated absolute immediate Identity. This
fundamental principle is mirrored in the Trinitarian ground of the Hegelian
speculative philosophy which is the main doctrinal postulate that permeates the
entire metaphysical endeavor of the German thinker.
In this, Hegel was singular, although the initiative
of rebuilding philosophy without any prior supposition is not exclusively
Hegelian. We can think about the Husserlian epoché
as a project of redefining the limits of apodictic philosophy and the eidetic
variation as the grounds for his fundamental insight (Einsicht).
However, we have found that Husserlian phenomenology is yet deriving its entire
structure within the realm of determinacy where the principle of determinate,
and thus of formal identity, dominates. Hegelian identity is established
precisely by an absolute rupture from formal relations and is an eminent case
of a speculative opening towards the premises of a transcendent thinking whose
eminence would ground the ultimate sight of genuine identity of appearance and
essence, of thought and being.
