This chapter provides an interpretation to substantiate the claim that the problem of expression has a specific logical form for Hegel, and that this form is essentially concerned with forms of internality and externality. The chapter traces the development of this problem through the first book of the Logic, the Doctrine of Being, and shows how the problem is best articulated through the concept of reflection in the Doctrine of Essence. Then it proceeds to show how an important aspect of Hegel's theory of reflection – the idea that reflection creates its object in such a way that the object has an independence qua reflective – plays an important role in the development of Hegel's moral psychology as opposed to that of Kant.Less

This chapter argues that the opening of the Logic is not the beginning of a post-Kantian ontology, but the first move of Hegel’s systematic reductio of realism. I examine Hegel’s famous discussion of true infinity, and show that it is central to begin grasping his understanding of ideality as a question of normative authority.Less

This chapter, which focuses on the metaphysics of Ernst Cassirer, analyzes whether Cassirer has a metaphysics in the sense of having a doctrine of being, and examines the meaning of his “metaphysics of symbolic forms.” It suggests that Cassirer did not engage in a theory of being or in metaphysics in the traditional sense, and that he believed that all earlier theories of metaphysics were faulty inasmuch as they took some aspect of reality and declared it to be ultimate, and as a result became one-sided.Less
