- Sep 4, 2018Thanks Stephen -- it would be useful.Paul, I found your summary useful as I read it yesterday -- much gratitude for the prompt response.What I have now managed to comprehend is a quite subtle move Hegel is making in 15. That when the relation between the contingent to the absolutely necessary is understood externally, the contingent falls apart and yet doesn't fall apart -- it is nothing, against which the absolutely necessary is posed (cosmological development). However then the relationship of the contingent to the absolutely necessary is posited speculatively, we see (Hegel asserts, but I am still at the brink) that the transition occurs within the contingent in the comprehension of the unity of its affirmative and negative moments. Now I can understand how the 'sublation' occurs -- but how it is (related to) a transition to absolute necessity I can't fully comprehend yet.BestSrivatsOn Wed, 5 Sep 2018 at 04:39, stephen theron stephentheron@...

Subject: [hegel] Lecture 15 LPEGDear friends,There is some help I'd like with the LPEG (Hodgson Translation). I have a Kindle version of the text where at lecture 15 the following text appears:quoteAs a matter of fact the concrete result in its explicit shape, i.e., its speculative form, has already been long established, namely in the definition that has been given of absolute necessity. In that regard, however, an external reflection and mode of argument was used for the elements that belong to this necessity or from which it results. What needs to be done here is merely to call attention to these elements that are found in what we have seen to be the contradiction that constitutes the resolution of the contingent. In absolute necessity we have seen first the element of mediation, and indeed initially mediation through an other.[Endnote 3]
The end note 3 reads: See above, Lecture 11, pp. 105-6.
My underline. Hegel: Lectures on the Proofs of the Existence of God (Hegel Lectures) (Kindle Location 1923). Kindle Edition. Hodgson translation (New York: OUP, 2007).
Unfortunately the Kindle version doesn't have page numbers, or perhaps has page numbers which are completely wrong.
Would it be possible for any of you to tell me what the page contains, or where to look for this in the Kindle edition? I've read through the text carefully but can't exactly make the reference.
