Hegel's Philosophy of Mind
Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich
Philosophy
48 This language is very characteristic of the physicists who dabble in
psychology and imagine they are treading in the steps of Kant, if
not even verifying what they call his guesswork: cf. Ziehen,
_Physiol. Psychologie_, 2nd ed. p. 212. “In every case there is
given us only the psychical series of sensations and their
memory-images, and it is only a universal hypothesis if we assume
beside this psychical series a material series standing in causal
relation to it.... The material series is not given equally
originally with the psychical.”
49 It is the same radical feature of consciousness which is thus noted
by Mr. Spencer, _Psychology_, i. 475. “Perception and sensation are
ever tending to exclude each other but never succeed.” “Cognition
and feeling are antithetical and inseparable.” “Consciousness
continues only in virtue of this conflict.” Cf. Plato’s resolution
in the _Philebus_ of the contest between intelligence and feeling
(pleasure).
50 It is the quasi-Aristotelian ἀπαγωγή, defined as the step from one
proposition to another, the knowledge of which will set the first
proposition in a full light.

_ 52 System der Sittenlehre_, § 8, iv.
53 Even though religion (according to Kant) conceive them as divine
commands.
54 Cf. Hegel’s _Werke_, vii. 2, p. 236 (Lecture-note on § 410). “We
must treat as utterly empty the fancy of those who suppose that
properly man should have no organic body,” &c.; and see p. 159 of
the present work.
_ 55 Criticism of Pure Reason_, Architectonic.
56 Spencer, _Psychology_, i. 291: “Mind can be understood only by
observing how mind is evolved.”
57 Cf. Spencer, _Principles of Ethics_, i. 339: “The ethical sentiment
proper is, in the great mass of cases, scarcely discernible.”

60 Cf. Plato, _Republic_, p. 486.

63 It is characteristic of the Kantian doctrine to absolutise the
conception of Duty and make it express the essence of the whole
ethical idea.
64 Which are still, as the Socialist Fourier says, states of social
incoherence, specially favourable to falsehood.
