sometimes sublation is impossible and the acceptance of a crisis as some unsublatable situation is the condition of freedom.

For a brief time Hegel ..had been captive to the illusion that the French Revolution was the restoration of classical Athens in his midst, but by the December 1800 ..he was convinced that the ideal of reconciliation with an apparently alien world could not be achieved by recapturing a lost past

"Time is the experience of becoming,  a slowmotion succession of spirit." "Absolute knowledge is only possible by recollection." "By spirit Hegel means the entire developments of the world. Images have to be grasped internally by the self when substance becomes subject

What Hegel calls “pure self-recognition in absolute otherness,” is called by Todd McGowan "a recognition that one’s identity exists outside oneself in the object that appears most other to oneself"

The world ..becomes, it passes away, but it has never begun to become and never ceased from passing away – it maintains itself in both – it lives on itself: its excrements are its food.

Things only are what they are in relation to otherness.. ..The Real is ..the ..impossibility which makes ..representations ..inconsistent. ..Absolute Knowing is a name for the acceptance of the absolute limitation of ..subjectivity, of the impossibility of stepping outside of it.
