Hegel's category of becoming – an attempt of analysis

Abstracts

EN

The paper aims at a critical investigation of the famous initial chapter of the so called "transcendental deduction of categories" from Hegel's "Science of Logic". At first, some graphic interpretation of the dialectic of becoming is proposed to show how different aspects of it fit the general "thesis–antithesis–synthesis" scheme ruling the transcendental deduction. Then the question is put forward whether the notions involved in Hegel's doctrine of becoming can really serve any explanation or clarification of it. The not very surprising answer is that instead of explaining anything they badly need explanation themselves. A suspicion arises that Hegel's actual intention could have been rather to completely confuse a reader at the very beginning of the exposition of his system, with the hope that after such a shocking treatment he will loose his criticism altogether. Such tactics can be very effective sometimes, as the famous Blitzkrieg invented by German General Staff showed once.
