The Return of Metaphysics: Hegel vs Kant

[BidenPresident]

Hegel, however, perhaps the most influentialof the post-Kantian philosophers, took seriously Kant’s claim that even if thought can’t know the world, it can know itself. That lead him to a revival of the very enterprise Kant sought to eliminate: metaphysics, the study of the necessary features of existence.

"That means it is a metaphysics, one based on the “identity” of “thinking and being.” This is not a knowledge of any nonsensible reality, it is a knowledge of any intelligible reality, the only kind there is. It is a revival of the great principle of classical philosophy: to be is to be intelligible.

Good article.

Glad you liked it. I agree with Pippin that Hegel does think of thought as just representing the world, such as for Descartes.
