HEGELS DIALECTIC AND ITS CRITICISM

This would indeed bind his technique of interpretation to hermeneutics, which,
as mentioned, translates one meaning into another, seeking deeper precisely
latent meaning behind the manifest surface. Instead, Freud introduced a method
of interpretation which on the one hand targets the logic of this dynamic, its
rational character, and on the other hand seeks the unconscious tendency
demanding the distortions beyond the layers of meaning. In this way, deformation
and translation become more than simple hermeneutical problems driving the
proliferation of sense that presumably point toward some original or authentic
meaning.

They now appeared as operations in the service of unconscious desire, for which
Freud argued that it assumes the role of negativity in the mental industry of
meaning. One could object that this history has little to do with The Birth of
Theory , from which the psychoanalytic problematic is entirely absent. For some
this may sound counter-intuitive, but Cole situates the birth of dialectical
materialism in this Hegelian act, showing in what precise way Hegel determines
the overall displacements that marked post-Hegelian thought, while also
revealing what in Hegel was subject to repression.

Cole draws attention to the striking absence of detailed discussion of medieval
philosophy in the history of dialectic. Yet the actual novelty and power of the
medieval dialectic lies elsewhere than in its scholastic practice. The Middle
Ages sustained two distinct dialectical traditions, of which the scholastic one
remains in continuity with the Antique notion of dialectics, understood as a
mere rhetorical practice, whereas the mystical one takes off from a
groundbreaking displacement in ontology, which extends dialectical features to
the very structure of being.

More precisely, with Hegel it becomes evident that the space of dialectics is
importantly marked by the problem of negativity, which makes this space
significantly more dynamic and discontinuous than the ordered space of critique
that Kant describes in his transcendental aesthetics.

The intertwining of two distinct epochs and social modes of production enabled
Hegel to introduce a concept of history in which a non-teleological becoming
driven by contradiction and negativity, rather than some presupposed
teleological orientation toward a higher political good, expectedly plays the
central role. Plotinus brought the developments and problems that preoccupied
ancient Greek philosophy to a critical limit and in the very same move
inaugurated a new historical sequence; he brought about a discontinuity, which
can be broken down into the transformation of dialectic from rhetorical practice
to the dialectic of identity and difference.

This concerns not only the movement of language but also and above all the
movement of the highest metaphysical principle the One, the Absolute. Dialectic
henceforth stands for a specific encounter of thinking with the dynamic becoming
of ontological entities; or to phrase it following Lacan, who equally recognised
the importance of medieval mysticism and Neo-Platonism, language touches the
real when its immanent disclosure meets ontological disclosure.

Discussing a crucial excerpt from Enneads 5. With the extension of dialectics
from the conduct of discourse in polemical confrontation with opinions to the
recognition of the internal dynamic of metaphysical reality, Plotinus formulates
an unprecedented problematic which obtained its modern rearticulation in Hegel.
It should go without saying that this ontological lapsus, this dimension of
failure inscribed into being as its defining feature, stands at the very core of
the modern philosophical, epistemological and political problematic.

The Birth of Theory is evidently marked by an internally doubled return: a
return to Hegel by means of a return to the medieval dialectic. In this way, the
philosophical break initiated by Hegel and perpetuated in post-Hegelian theory
appears in a new light. In order to become materialist, the medieval dialectic
of identity and difference needs to be reinvented in the modern context, and it
needs to be reinvented twice: first with Hegel, who uses it as a critical tool
to expose the persistence of feudalism in the modern world and thereby reveals
an important feature of capitalist modernity — uneven development; and then with
Marx, who provides the first systematic application of materialist dialectic to
capitalism in order to expose its structural contradictions, one of the
essential ones being again — uneven development.

If Hegel and Marx still appear to us as different, the reason for this
appearance should be sought in the historical circumstances, in which their
thought took shape and to which they applied the same dialectic: German
feudalism in the case of Hegel, English capitalism in the case of Marx. This is
what non-dialectical thought systematically overlooks in the world of
appearances in which it is embedded; and by missing this sophistication in the
constitution of social bonds, it simultaneously ignores the immanent
decentralisation specifically, alienation of thinking, its non-identity with
itself.

It was none other than Hegel who taught philosophy to think systematically
within this gap, and it is in this precise sense that even the most passionate
anti-Hegelians remain deeply indebted to Hegel. Not to mention Marxism, for
which Hegel conceptually and methodologically remains a crucial condition of
possibility. However, despite this selective philosophical presentation there
should be no doubt that Andrew Cole has produced an indispensable classic of the
broadest possible interest. Without The Birth of Theory we would continue to
lack crucial historical and conceptual insights into the quarrels and
intricacies that have so heavily influenced the orientations of modern theory.

Moreover, these also determine the space in which Marxist thought has operated
since its very beginnings. Andrew Cole offers a captivating demonstration of the
efficacy of dialectical thought. This is accompanied by a series of new insights
into the history of dialectics that prompt us to look anew at this tradition and
to critically rewrite it. The Birth of Theory is therefore obligatory reading
for anyone involved in the reaffirmation of critical and materialist thought
today. Lacan uses the example in order to explain alienation.

See Milner , pp. Part Two discusses the relation between history and dialectics
in both Hegel and Marx, exposing strong homologies in their positions.

In this way, the discussion of the dialectical method in Hegel and Marx reveals
its potential for being extended to the experience of language in general. I owe
this reference to Nathaniel Boyd. It is one of the greatest humoristic works of
world literature. It is about the customs of the concepts, these slippery,
unstable, irresponsible existences; how they insult and fight each other with
knives and then sit down together to supper as if nothing had happened.

The Materialist Rebirth of Dialectic. Everyone is familiar with the famous
phrases from the first volume of Capital , in which Marx summed up his critical
relation to Hegel: My dialectical method is, in its foundations, not only
different from the Hegelian, but exactly opposite to it. In this way it should
be in no way surprising that, after insisting on methodological opposition, Marx
nevertheless relativises his apparent rejection of Hegel: I criticized the
mystificatory side of the Hegelian dialectic nearly thirty years ago, at a time
when it was still the fashion.

After all, his philosophy puts them and their profession at the very apex of

post-Kantian idealism.

What is idealism? Idealism exercises a variety of attractions. For one thing, it
is deeply flattering to its proponents, for it suggests that reality is in some
obscure way dependent on them. The basic procedure is quite simple. In every
idealist manual after Kant, the first lesson is the same: kick Berkeley. It is
objective, or public, or Absolute, Thought. Hegel was a supreme master at this
sort of thing. Fair enough, you say. Perhaps the following passages will clear
