PARRA AYALA, Andrés Felipe. Hegel's Concept of Actuality and the Critique of Metaphysics. Eidos [online]. 2021, n.36, pp.223-255.  Epub May 14, 2022. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.36.193.02.

This paper aims to reconstruct the arguments of the first chapter within the third section of the Doctrine of Essence, namely "The Absolute". Its hypothesis is that the critic of metaphysics within this chapter not only champions a relational process-ontology, but also states an implicit distinction between first and second order theories of the Absolute. The first-order theory of the Absolute purports to present a definition of the Absolute without analytic contradictions. The second-order theory of the Absolute not only sets out the nature of the Absolute, but also seeks to include the thought and the theory of the Absolute within the Absolute itself.

Keywords : Hegel; metaphysics; logic; ontology; absolute; critique of metaphysics.
