Hegel versus immediate knowledge: a critical analysis of the first chapter of the Phenomenology of Spirit

Abstract

The following article intends to clarify some presuppositions inherent
to the argument presented in the first chapter of Hegel´s Phenomenology
of Spirit. For such aim, I will first make some remarks on the internal
relation between this work and the posterior hegelian project of a system
of Absolute Reason, this last having the Science of Logic as its most
adequate exposition. After a brief description of the dialethical method
proper to the regarded text, I will point out a couple diculties that mark
the beginning of Hegel´s investigation.
