Notes—written for the Hegel Circle (of Circles) meeting 5—for reading a chunk the ‘preliminary conception’ of the encyclopedia Logic, "B. The Second Position of Thought Towards Objectivity," which includes "I. Empiricism" (§§37-39, pp. 78-82) and "II. Critical Philosophy" (§§40-60, pp. 82-109). Since it’s mostly a critique of Kantian critical philosophy, I’ll list some of Hegel’s most provocative criticisms here. Rather than trying to make my own argument or offer my own defense of Hegel’s reading, I will do the opposite and summarize the criticisms as briefly and polemically as possible. (I promise a real piece on Hegel’s Kantkritik soon.)
