Editor?s Foreword
LECTURE ONE
Prejudices against the dialectic ? the double character of the dialectic ? the dialectic as method of articulating the Ideas (Plato) ? the order of concepts expresses the order of things ? the vital nerve of the dialectic ? the dialectic as necessary ?exaggeration? ? the positivist element of the dialectic
LECTURE TWO
?The movement of the concept? (Hegel) ? the dialectic hypostasizes the identity of thought and being ? Hegel?s dialectic as the union of identity and non-identity ? non-identity in the process, identity in the result ? introduction to the dialectic as a model of dialectic ? the movement of the concept is not sophistical ? the movement of the concept as the path of philosophical science ? the object of knowledge is internally dynamic ? the movement of the object is not arbitrary ? the metaphysical concept of truth ? the inevitable reification of truth ? historical movement is not the movement of being but is concrete ? the dialectic is not a philosophy of foundations ? the temporal core of dialectic
LECTURE THREE
Critique of prima philosophia ? matter no first principle either ? Hegel?s dialectic also a preservation of first philosophy ? all determination implies mediation ? the movement of the concept is no external contribution of thought ? a sophistical displacement of meaning in Gehlen ? the whole is the true solely as the result of all mediations ? the idea of an open dialectic ? the whole is neither a pantheistic totality of nature nor a seamless unity ? ?the truth is essentially result? ? individual phenomena only intelligible in terms of the whole ? recourse to the whole is mediated through the self-movement of the individual ? the concept of the whole as already given
LECTURE FOUR
The traditional concept of system: derivation of the whole from one fundamental principle ? the dialectical concept of system ? determinate negation ? contradiction in Kant ? contradiction in Hegel ? antithesis arises from thesis ? the measure of the absolute lies in objectivity ? dialectical criticism is necessarily immanent ? refutation of a thought as development of the thought ? the emergent absolute is essentially temporal ? the interaction of theory and practice - the truth as result is concrete
LECTURE FIVE
The charge of universal rationalization ? dialectical thought is not rationalistic thought ? the dispute over rationalism ? conceptual thought is indispensable ? the truth moment of irrationalism ? the irrational as a moment of ratio ? suffering and happiness are immanent to thought ? being in itself, being for itself, being in and for itself ? relationship of thesis, antithesis, synthesis ? dialectical method concerns the contradictory life of the object ? the dialectic not immune to ideological abuse
LECTURE SIX
Dialectical method not a formal conceptual schema ? the objectivation of truth ? every true thought becomes untrue once it is isolated ? the triadic schema irrelevant in Hegel ? the charge of universalizing contradiction ? contradiction is not a first principle ? Hegel?s critique of Kant?s transcendental dialectic
LECTURE SEVEN
Hegel?s dialectical principle of development is a principle of real being ? dialectic in Kant is only the negative side of the critique of reason ? the positive moment of the critique of reason ? reflection as the principle of the speculative self-knowledge of reason ? knowledge of knowledge also the principle of substantive knowledge ? dialectic and formal logic ? the ?example? in Hegel ? logical form of the judgement and the ?emphatic concept? ? dialectical contradiction expresses the disparity of thought and world
LECTURE EIGHT
Dialectic names the negative state of the world by its proper name ? contradiction not only in thought, but is objective ? contradiction as principle of diremption is also the principle of unity ? dialectic as union of the a priori and experience ? the objective order of the world also conceptual in character ? coercive character of dialectic ? the systematic claim of dialectic ? dialectical contradiction in Hegel?s political philosophy ? dialectical system not a seamless deductive structure ? the concept of experience in Hegel
LECTURE NINE
The paradoxical task of knowledge: identifying the non-identical ? identity of thought and being (Hegel) ? non-identity and contradiction not resolvable in thought (Marx) ? the materialist priority of being over consciousness is problematic ? the whole and the parts presuppose one another ? the materialist critique of literature cannot proceed from unmediated instances of particular experience (Benjamin) ? dialectical materialism is not vulgar materialism ? the charge of metaphysically hypostasizing the totality (Weber)
LECTURE TEN
Knowledge of the social whole precedes individual experience ? prior awareness of the whole not unique to human beings ? rejection of Hegel?s attempted restoration of immediate experience ? the congruence of whole and parts as result of a process ? intuition ? theory neither static nor complete ? the danger of a dogmatic ossification of dialectic (Lukacs) ? tracing knowledge back to origins is undialectica ? survival of obsolete philosophical notions in the individual sciences
LECTURE ELEVEN
Terminological remarks on the concept of role ? neither whole nor part enjoys priority over the other ? metaphysics as science of the ultimate ground ? origin as merel beginning (Hegel) ? the ontological appropriation of Hegel ? ?abstract? in Hegel ? the dialectic not a dynamic ontology ? ?being? in Hegel ? philosophy of immediacy as regress to mythology ? dialectic and positivism ? the ?natural? appearance of a reified world
LECTURE TWELVE
Affinity between dialectic and positivism ? the constitutive distinction of essence and appearance ? dialectic exposes the apparent immediacy of ultimate givens ? the Darmstadt investigation ? motivational analysis in industrial sociology ? opinion research, empirical and critical ? transition from positivism to dialectic ? contradiction in the given as the principle of dialectical movement
LECTURE THIRTEEN
Scientific method in Descartes ? rationalism as the will to control nature ? the postulate of self-evidence (Descartes) ? a hermeneutic intervention ? self-evidence as a form of ultimate metaphysical grounding ? evidence of sense-perception already mediated ? the order of knowing, the order of the known ? experience and conceptuality ? emphasis on analysis destroys the crucial interest of knowing ? philosophy of nature and natural science ? philosophy always bound to the material knowledge of the sciences
LECTURE FOURTEEN
Analysis alone yields no knowledge ? the universal concretized through the particular ? attitude of dialectic to the concept of development ? the family not merely a remnant ? society not an organism, but antagonistic in character ? knowledge as a continuity of steps ? the unity of society constituted by discontinuity ? the presumption of continuity is merely affirmative ? ?enthusiasm? a necessary moment of knowledge ? the positive aspect of continuity
LECTURE FIFTEEN
The coercive character of logic ? immanent and transcendent critique ? mobility of thought is not an evasion ? contradictions are constitutive ? against relativism ? dialectical cognition of the particular object requires explicit self-reflection ? the charge of groundlessness ? a sociological excursus on the mobility of thought ? the substance of philosophy lies in the vital source of its concepts ? arrested movement in Heraclitus and Hegel
LECTURE SIXTEEN
The dogmatic character of the axiom of completeness ? the fulfilment of this demand in German Idealism ? dialectical clarification of the objective by recourse to models ? ?ideal types? in Weber ? ?intuition of essences? in Husserl ? thinking in models ? labyrinthine communication in literary works (Kafka, Balzac, von Doderer) ? historical transformations in the concept of system
LECTURE SEVENTEEN
Consciousness as unifying principle in the modern conception of system ? critique and renewal of the concept of system in 19th century ? contemporary appeal of the concept of system ? the spectral afterlife of the concept of system ? the need for system and the closed experience of the world ? no categorical continuum amongst the particular sciences (Talcott Parsons) ? apologetic character of the functionalist concept of system ? ?frame of reference? ? the logic of science and debased metaphysics complement one another today ? dialectic a beneficent anachronism
LECTURE EIGHTEEN
Dichotomous consciousness ? dialectical mediation not a matter of Both/And ? mediation as the critical self-reflection of extremes ? role of Either/Or in the social sciences ? dialectic and the negative concept of truth ? values are neither transcendent nor merely relative ? the criterion of truth is immanent to the object ? the dialectic is not a matter of ?standpoints? ? dialectic furnishes no recipes ? definition as logical form
LECTURE NINETEEN
The limits of deixis and definition with respect to the concept ? the concept is not a tabula rasa ? concept and constellation ? life and fluidity of the concept as the object of dialectic ? verbal definitions and philosophical definitions ? philosophical definition requires prior knowledge of the matter in question ? it extends concepts into force fields ? abbreviation as specific feature of philosophical definition ? operational definitions in the particular sciences ? forfeiting the synthetic moment of knowledge ? operational definitions and their field of application ? dialectic as a critical mediation of realism and nominalism ? truth moment of the phenomenological analysis of meaning
LECTURE TWENTY
Dialectical articulation of concepts as constellation and configuration ? the order of ideas in Plato as an expression of the social division of labour ? the exposition of the matter in question not external ? exposition guarantees the objectivity of knowledge ? contradiction in the identifying judgement as starting point of dialectic ? truth and untruth of the logical judgement form ? subjective synthesis and objective reference in the judgement ? an immanent critique of logic ? the phenomenological critique of inference ? surrender of logical subordination as index of dialectical thought ? is knowledge possible without assuming the identity of subject and object?
