Hegel,
Who saw the present age of his time as an epoch of revolutionary thinking and a culmination of the Spirit of the continent,
Had a theory about what he called "Total (or complete) Comprehension".
This epoch of verstehen could be understood as being realized through spirit as the entirety of the universe, and the entire universe as Sein (or being) in spirit, understood a priori.
The similarities to Kant's categories and principles seem obvious,
but let's examine how Hegel differs from Kant.
His theory of dialectic, as defined in The Phenomenology...., basically takes Kant's categorical imperative and flips it upside down, not to mention much of the history of metaphysics as understood in Plato. Kant believed that the "in-and-of-itself" was only capable of being known by God.
Hegel, by contrast, saw understanding of the "In Itself" and as such "Being-In-The-World" as the first step toward the level of Reason and Intellect that is known as "Mediation".
Through total comprehension during the developmental stage of Mediation-as-such, we can come to know god through the very Protestant dialectic of Hegel's authorship. So Hegel really freed the individual conscious being from dialectical nihilism. Total, Complete, Absolute, Objective and Unequivocal Verstehen is possible through a priori synthesis of thesis, anti-thesis.
Kant, it must be noted, got into a considerable amount of trouble during his time because of his methodological atheism. Hegel took much of Kant's contribution to the spirit of continental philosophy and brought it to a beautifully abstract teleological meaning of existence.
In that sense,
I think Hegel's authorship constitutes an important faction in today's existentialist movement.
Complete understanding (verstehen) of the Spirit of Being-as-such, Being-There and the ready-to-hand ontical action of Being-In-The-World constitutes the a priori synthesis of Hegel that so influenced Heidegger.
In fact,
In Heidegger's Being and Time he ends the entire work with a systematic Destruktion of Hegel's contribution to Western thought.
Keep it locked here for more of Classic Politalk...
