This work, by one of the most innovative and challenging of
contemporary thinkers, pivots on a "Remark" added by Hegel in 1831
to the second edition of his "Science of Logic." As a model of
close reading applied both to philosophical texts and the making of
philosophical systems, "The Speculative Remark" played a
significant role in transforming the practice of philosophy away
from system building to analysis of specific linguistic detail,
with meticulous attention to etymological, philological, and
rhetorical nuance.
Nancy uses his extended examination of the "Remark" to delineate
certain overall strategies in several Hegelian texts that militate
for language-oriented readings of Hegel, as shown in Nancy's
redefinition of such key terms as "Aufhebung," "mediation," and
"speculation." Nancy's reading progresses from speculative words
and propositions to registering the speculative itself. While he
avoids analyzing Hegel's system as such, Nancy reconstructs the
Hegelian trajectory on a basis of tropes, building from
propositions rather than structures, elements, and cycles.
The overview that emerges in the final chapter and epilogue
constitutes a broad statement about Hegel's practice and
significance, one nuanced by close attention to his deployment of
rhetoric and linguistic play. "The Speculative Remark" thus
furnishes a model for a theoretically aware approach to all
systematic philosophy, while providing a significant historical
contribution to the evolution of contemporary critical theory.
