Critica i-mediatului sau idealismul finitudinii în Logica obiectivă hegeliană
The critique of immediacy or the idealism of the finite in Hegel’s Objective Logic

Summary/Abstract: This paper represents an agonistic endeavour focused on reclaiming the concept of reflection as it is formulated in Hegel’s Science of Logic. Contrary to many suggestions of various philosophical schools, reflection itself implies with necessity “immediacy” (detailed and condensed in the Doctrine of Being), but also denounces the impossibility of a direct deductive relation of „nature” from „thinking”. In other words, the rigid etiquette of Hegelianism as solipsism vanishes through a careful analysis of the very activity of reflection. The accurate understanding of mediation, which is the Hegelian essence (being the second book of the Objective Logic – The Doctrine of Essence), constitutes a duality in immediacy: essence does not only negate and, therefore, transforms its content, but also, structurally, presupposes and generates it. The post-Hegelian line of reasoning, which retracts the one-sidedness of a simple destruction/negation of Being (as immediacy), can be reduced to the general scheme of determining the relation-to-other (specific to finitude) as a moment wholly internal to the infinite relation-to-self of the Hegelian Concept, a dynamic closely followed and described by the German Philosopher.
