DIALECTIC THOUGHT FREE
“The broad distinction between instinctive act and act which is intelligent and free is that the latter is performed consciously. Hegel is well aware of the difference and notes:
They fail to make a distinction between the exercise of Hegel’s philosophical logic and our common natural logic. But it is not pedantry alone that is their error, a confusion underlies the incapacity to see where this logic is rightly deployed. What these errant enthusiasts fail to understand is something that may seem obvious: That pedantic presentation does not an intelligent conception make. These confusions are in part simple naivete which flexes its cognitive muscles in a mistaken pride of conquering such a famed logical method, but there are not so obvious issues which lead to this error and they deserve clarification. Hegelian logic is great after all, what could be better than absolute concepts and arguments? Is there anything at all that Hegel’s logic could not enlighten us about, nothing which we should not eagerly process through its almighty speculative lens? So called ‘dialectics’ have become strangely privileged by some, mainly Marxists, as a logical and conceptual form which supposedly says something important, and yet more often than not attempts to use this method result in the obtuse mystification of what is common and obvious.
