      The problem for me here in PhdG, is early in Chapter IV (para 197)
      Hegel is already talking about the emmergence of a new form of
      consciousness beyond picture repreresentation. And I'm pretty sure
      that I can demonstrate by the end of Chapt. 3 that Hegel has already
      arrived at determinate representation, (I do not know if it is
      Vorstellung though). And it seems that "Intellectual intuition" is
      not yet representation. So there is some tension between the terms
      for me right around the turn of Chapt. 4.


      Additionally, as I stated before in Perception the sense element is
      indeed preserved, but as a universal (properties). However,
      Perception also has a spiritual element in that it is a "taking to
      be true." In fact the percipient is aware that his "taking" can be
      false. This fact is instrumental in the movement of Perception to a
      further determination. Otherwise, perception could conclude that
      the in-itself was simply a vanishing. (see second part of para
      118)... So it still seems for me that your "intellectual intuition"
      should be placed somewhere in between Sense Certainty and the end of
      chapter 3, otherwise we would have to allow intellectual intuition
      the capacity to determine objects determinately.


      Kind regards,

      Randall
