Single Idea 21763
[filed under theme 19. Language / E. Analyticity / 4. Analytic/Synthetic Critique
]
Full Idea
For Hegel, by explicating the indeterminate category of being, we do not merely restate in different words what is obviously 'contained' in it; we watch a new category emerge.

A Reaction
This is obviously a response to Kant's view of analyticity, as merely explicating the contents of the subject of the sentence, without advancing knowledge or conceptual resources. A key idea of Hegel's, which I find unconvincing.
