What is the relation between thinking and the I that thinks? And
what is the relation between thought and reality? The ordinary view
shared by modern philosophers from Descartes to Kant, as well as by
common sense, is that there is only thought when someone thinks
something, and thoughts and concepts are mental acts that refer to
objects outside us. In Thinking and the I: Hegel and the Critique
of Kant, Alfredo Ferrarin shows that Hegel's philosophy entails a
radical criticism of this ordinary conception of thinking. Breaking
with the habitual presuppositions of both modern philosophy and
common sense, Ferrarin explains that thought, negation, truth,
reflection, and dialectic for Hegel are not properties of an I and
cannot be reduced to the subjective activity of a self-conscious
subject. Rather, he elucidates, thought is objective for Hegel in
different senses. Reality as a whole is animated by a movement of
thought and an unconscious logic as a spontaneity that reifies
itself in determinate forms. Ferrarin concludes the book with a
comprehensive comparison of Hegel's and Kant's concepts of reason.
While it mainly focuses on Hegel's Phenomenology, Science of Logic,
and Encyclopaedia, this ambitious book covers all aspects of
Hegel's philosophy. Its originality and strength lie in its
recovery of the original core of Hegel's dialectic over and above
its currently predominant transcendental, neopragmatist, or realist
appropriations. It will be essential reading for all students of
Hegel, Kant, and German idealism in general for years to come.
