KANT-HEGEL: “THE NEED AND TASK OF PHILOSOPHY”

Abstract

In a specifi c way of lecturing, using discourse that bears all thecharacteristics of erudition, philosophical profundity and the charm of a greatuniversity, intellectual and humanistic career, the author once again examines theessence of the speculative abstract position of the philosophy of German idealismfrom the ground up. Light is shed on the essence of that position in this text fromthe problematization of Kant’s philosophy and the construction the speculativestandpoint in Hegel’s early text On Diff erences. Th is problematization allows theauthor to, once again sharpen his own understanding, to radical abstract consequences,of the possibilities of the confrontation of philosophy and speculation.
