Based on reading of this text, Hegel understanding of the interconnection between time and spirit can be viewed as an attempt to destruction of the history of ontology. The understanding of time of Hegel can be said to be the most radical way and the most offensive way of understanding of time (Pinkard, Terry, 49). In his argument, he believes that the spirit falls into historical time and at the same time be speculative thought.
Hegelian Conceptuality clearly outlays itself as separation and understanding of the difference between the “I” and non-I. The conceptuality brings itself in the form of self-consciousness. From the text, Hegel’s Concept of self-consciousness is completely legitimate in its normal outlay. In his opinion, it is only the ‘I’ that exist. In regards to this, it is evident that the link between the concept and I does not consider restrictions of the group of existence. Therefore, it is evident that the interconnection between the structure of Concept and that of I are subjective spirit. In his work Hegel defines the Concept of self-consciousness as a situation with three linked instants: the universality of the pure undifferentiated ‘I’, individuality of mediation via sensuous object of desire and lastly concrete individuality of reflective moments of recognition between self-conscious objects (Pinkard, Terry, 78). Hegel views I as unitary since it recognizes its self-identity in otherness in the plurality and takes into consideration the other. Therefore, Hegel’s view of I as an existing Concept only depicts its formal structure as a unity of universality, particularity, and individuality. In reality, it does not show any actual philosophical conditions involving the different ways through which recognition is developed and realized. This way of developing and realizing self could clearly enable the determination of this actualization of the formal structure known as I.
