On the dissociation of modern reason: Hegel's search for a conciliation between critical attitude and absolute knowledge

Abstract

Aiming at the constitution of a truly critical philosophy, Hegel took distance from Schelling and his claim to achieve absolute knowledge on the basis of intellectual intuition and resumes the dialogue with Kant and Fichte. Hegel’s goal was to overcome the conflicts of modern reason by promoting the conciliation between the critical attitude and absolute sistematicity. It should be asked, however, whether such a conciliation is actually possible.

Key words: Hegel, Schelling, Critical attitude, Absolute sistematicity.
