HEGELIANISM PRAGMATIC: ANGAJAMENT, LEGĂMÂNT ȘI RĂSPUNDERE
PRAGMATIC HEGELIANISM: COMMITMENT, BINDINGNESS, RESPONSIBILITY

Summary/Abstract: In this article, I will argue against the so-called anti-philosophical realism, by opposing it the metaphysical bedrock of Hegel's idealism, namely the primitive of absolute negativity, a central concept in Hegel's work. By acknowledging, enlarging and exploring firstly the normative pragmatics and the modally-enriched empiricism of Robert Brandom, then, secondly, the active comportment of self-relating thought as a description of doing in Cirulli's work and, thirdly and equally important, the interaction method as a link between semantics and syntax in Negarestani, I formulate an argument so as to envision the intertwining between thought and praxis. The key-concepts of commitment, endorsement, and responsibility are the constellation of ideas through which we can encompass what Hegel meant by affirming the truth of absolute knowledge, namely the fact that experience is simultaneously actual and objective, and the only absolute "object" is precisely the concept of subjective rationality. The revised fusion between ideas and actions means conceptually revised praxis and practically validated ideas, an occasion of continuous bi-directional determination and reciprocal integration of the two terms, or an asymptotic fusion which constitutes rational beings as implacable seekers of rational elaborations.
