Let us assert that every-thing we express is form. Form is the activity which takes place perceptually, the activity which is observable. Content is the meaning communicated to the mind through perception, by form which is necessary for perception.

Kant who speaks of reasonas an organism, of its system as an edifice to build and at once as a living beingthat develops out of itself, with regard to the concept of a teleology of reason,

the law that reflection discovers in nature. He believes thatthis holds for all modern philosophies of reflection, including Kant, who mightwant to retort that law is actually the product of a law-giving reason which gen-erates contents by operating on its own forms. This is what it means for it to positlaws of nature, which are not the inverted world, but its inner form

Kant does not think of the objective content aspre-existing, given before and independently of the conceptual form.

forma dat esse rei canhardly be reduced to an empty form, an inert vessel to be filled by the given sen-sible content.

Thinking in Kant re-ceives the material and limits itself to shaping it, and thus cannot go beyond it-self

Geist, the formative principle of the world in which it is beginning to feel at home(once, that is, the opposition is sublated), reason is “the truth of the opposition”(ibidem). “Truth” means that we finally get the authentic relation: no longer theexternal one between a given content and a form imposed on it from without,but the universal that particularizes itself and produces its own content.

“actual” is themovement of adequation between concept and finite existence

Hegel’s move beyond Kant

novelty of Hegel’s reason in comparison to Kant’s.

imit itself to respecting the untouchable core of experience.

ritical reasontakes its bearings by a preliminary separation of form and content

between abstract understanding and reason as unity of opposites

Hegel appropriates the transformation of metaphysics into logic that Kanthas inaugurated with the Transcendental Analytic

there cannotbe any hesitations that it is on its ground that we build the new philosophy

their ultimate conclusions

t would therefore be quite unfair to blame Hegel for misconstruing Kant’sphilosophy, when all Hegel does is carry some statements made by Kant

Kant himself who all too often frames questions concerning reason in terms ofunderstanding,

This widespread form of interpretation has failed to do jus-tice to Kant’s philosophy primarily because it is infected with several uncriticaland unjustified reductionist assumptions.

it portrays reason all toooften in the terms of the understanding: adopting a method from without, func-tioning as a tool for ends it has not determined, being subjected to criteria oftruth and effectiveness it finds as ready-made.

Hegel inherits Kant’s tension in the duplicityof thought qua spontaneous force that at first moves unconsciously and qua ab-solute self-consciousness. Thought is for Hegel reason’s force and life, a logicalinstinct driven by the desire to be-at-home in the world, and at once the knowl-edge of its self-realization in the world.

Both denounce defective understandings of reason

Kant speaks of vernünf-teln, Hegel of räsonnieren to denote an insubstantial and futile use of reasonwhich, more absorbed by its own distinctions than by the necessity to followthe thing at hand over which it ineffectually “hovers”, adopts a formal, technicalor instrumental argumentation. What is thereby lost in Kant is reason’s relationto its ends, in Hegel reason’s relation to reality. In both, the defective use of rea-son construes it as one of its several functions as it reduces reason to the under-standing, so that what is thereby lost is the inner articulation of reason in its dif-ferent modes of activity

Hegel, who pushes this new thought to its extreme consequences, speaks of rea-son’s impulse to realize itself in the world. In both Kant and Hegel the separationbetween eros and logos cannot hold any more;

We will argue that a French-Hegelian reading of the Phenomenology of Spirit actually misinterprets the meaning of "teleological" time and "the end of history" in Hegel's text, and that it does so for expressly political purposes. We will argue that Levinas' French-Hegelian misinterpretation affects both his portrayal of Hegel's phenomenology and his own ethical phenomenology. Locating Levinas' Hegel in a French-Hegelian tradition is important for understanding his phenomenology because Levinas negatively situates his own ethical account of intersubjectivity against what he takes Hegel's phenomenology of intersubjectivity to consist in. As a consequence, Levinas goes to great lengths in Otherwise than Being to describe time as "diachronous" in direct contradistinction to what we will argue is a French-Hegelian misreading of "teleological" time in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit .

According to a widely shared view, a radical change took place in the role of intersubjectivity in Hegel's philosophy somewhere between Jena and Berlin. For instance, Jürgen Habermas's judgement is that whereas in the Jena writings – in the Jena Realphilosophien, and perhaps still in the 1807 Phenomenology of Spirit – Hegel conceived of intersubjectivity as an essential element in the constitution of subjectivity and of objectivity, in Berlin Hegel's intersubjectivist conception was replaced by a metaphysics of the absolute I or absolute self-consciousness, in which intersubjectivity no longer plays any important constitutive role. Perhaps it is due to something like this view having been mostly taken for granted even among Hegel-specialists that scholarly literature on intersubjectivity in Hegel's late Encyclopaedic system is indeed very scarce. Robert R. Williams' Hegel's Ethics of Recognition argues convincingly that the theme of intersubjective recognition can be seen as a central thread running through the whole of Hegel's Encyclopaedic philosophy of objective spirit. But very little has so far been written on the theme of intersubjectivity or intersubjective recognition in Hegel's Encyclopaedic philosophy of subjective spirit. My thesis in what follows is that intersubjectivity or intersubjective mediation in recognition can and should in fact be seen as an essential constituent also of subjective spirit as Hegel conceptualises it in the 1830 Encyclopaedia.

Si PlatformWelcome to the infrastructure platform that powers our global community of hubs

Si HubGuideVersion 2.0

Hub DevelopmentWe assess hubs based upon theirdevelopment along thesedimensions and categories themaccordingly

Ecosystem HubAlong with the usual activities of a hub, these hubs are platforms that support a wide ecosystemof individuals and organizations for doing systems change in their location. They run multipleparallel themes and activities supporting and connecting multiple different communities. They runprojects, run labs, and build collaborations that connect and align large groups of individuals andorganizations within a given domain towards changing the systems they form part of in a tangibleway. They require a substantial investment of time and energy, resources to maintain

Creator HubThese hubs are social enterprises forming the core of the network. They provide services andlead projects. As well as developing a community and running regular events creator hubshave a business model and well-defined set of paid services they can provide. These hubs aremore closely aligned and integrated with the platform and follow network best practices

Community HubThese hubs are communities of practice working to build a local community and hostregular events. They have a core team, host a full set of activity and are activelyinvolved in building their community

Connector HubA connector hub is the most basic form of hub. This is where all hubs start out. Thistype of hub represents the community in a given location and hosts infrequentevents connecting people through meetups or discussions

NetworkingCommunities are social networks, thus indeveloping one we need to think of how we arebuilding the network of connections. This can beabout taking the time to connect with peopleone-to-one or it may be events where we areconnecting people many-to-many

Platform ModelSi is organized as a platform organization.This means there is an underlyingorganization that supports and developsthe networks. The platform provides a setof services to help setup, maintain anddevelop the hubs over the lifecycle.

Learning + ApplyingSi Hubs are not just for learning and networking, but also for collaboration and doing.
