G.W.F. Hegel on Predication - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 470 Predication/Speculation/Hegel/Gadamer: [Hegel] shows that the philosophical proposition is a judgement only in its external form, i.e. it attaches a predicate to a concept of subject(1). In truth, the philosophical proposition does not pass from the concept of subject to another concept that is related to it, but in the form of the predicate it pronounces the truth of the subject. For example, "God is One" does not mean that it is a quality of God to be One, but that it is the essence of God to be unity. >Speculative Philosophy/Hegel. Gadamer I 471 Philosophy/Hegel/Gadamer: [Hegel] (...) has shown how philosophy in this sense is speculation from the very beginning. If it expresses itself in the form of predication, i.e., if it works with fixed conceptions of God, soul and world, then it misjudges its nature and pursues a one-sided "intellectual view of the objects of reason". According to Hegel, this is the essence of his pre-Kantian dogmatic metaphysics and characterizes, in general, the "newer times of 'Unphilosophy'. Plato, at any rate, is not such a metaphysician and Aristotle even less, although one occasionally believes the opposite"(2). Cf. >Metaphysics. 1. Cf. for this Gadamer, „Hegels Dialektik.
