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 examines Hegel’s notion of actuality, which I analyze as the retrospective logic of positing-presupposing implicit in philosophies of reflection. This retrospective logic is central to actualization—a process of externalization and recollection distinctive of Hegelian mediation. It also draws implications of the reading of actuality offered for understanding the structure of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right.Less
