Abstract

The author of this paper will present Hegel’s concepts of reflection and speculation, in the way they were developed in his Differenzschrift. Reflection and speculation, being connected and conditioned intellectual procedures, are in fact able to fulfil twofold task of philosophy, i. e. the critical task of introduction and systematic task of developing of philosophy. As a radical grasping into the antinomy of reflection, as a way of exposing the antinomies in the absolute identity itself, self-critical reflection is the method of reason or speculation. In manuscript of Hegel’s lecture from 1804/5, Logic – Metaphysics – Philosophy of Nature, taking logical development of the forms of judgment as an example, the self-criticism of reflexive categories is obvious. This early concept of logic, which Hegel calls logic of reflection or logic of understanding, plays a role of the introduction to metaphysics.
