Abstract

This essay revisits Hegelâs critique of metaphysics. It argues that the primary defect of traditional metaphysics, for Hegel, is that it falsely presupposes that that the basic categories of thought retain the meaning and significance they have in ordinary contexts when they are used as predicates of the absolute.
