      What stuff, Alan.     The one who is evasive is only you yourself.

      I have shown cogently that Hegel's Sense Certainty arises within his Encyclopedia (1820) immediately after his discourse on Animal Psychology.    This is the very reason that Hegel characterizes Sense Certainty in the way he does -- with reference to the primitive terms: 

             "This!"     "That!"     "Me!"      "You!"     "Here!"     "There!"     

      Those are Hegel's own terms, and you evade those primitive facts with your postmodern double-speak. 

      Furthermore, what justifies Hegel's way of presenting Sense Certainty Consciousness is Hegel's Method, his Dialectical Logic, his early Theory of Evolution.   

      To ignore Hegel's budding Theory of Evolution in his Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) as illuminated in his Encyclopedia (1820) is to miss Hegel's point.  

      So, on the contrary, Alan, it is you yourself who demonstrate an inability to address the hard questions -- or to deal properly with an argument as presented.

      Your self-evident method is simply to dismiss your interlocutor with a dismissive hand, a smirk and an insult -- without any real argument.

      You've got some nerve to claim that other people don't present arguments.

      Sincerely,

      This is wonderfully evasive.

        I have shown how Hegel decidedly is not talking about a primitive cognitive agent who grunts.

        So, if this what you mean, then you have not talked about Hegel’s sense certainty.

        But, to be frank, I think this level of discourse is a bit beyond your competency.

        You evince the enthusiasm of a perpetual undergraduate who has fallen in love with his philosopher.

        You have not demonstrated an ability to ask the hard questions.
