Supplement to I, section 1 (p.3)
Not to disrupt or distract the exercises—in their own course—, nor to force one’s way to Hegel’s philosophy from the outside by means of an inquiry, but from its own standpoint and its “principle.”
If there a necessity and need, if Hegel still something that is “actual” [Wirkliches], if Hegel [has] ever been something with an impact [Wirksames]. “Beside the point”—every “philosophy.”
Which “standpoint” of thinking? Absolute idealism; against the philosophy of reflection and according to the “principle.” How [is this] philosophy determined? Which principle?
Ground of the system: Substance is subject;1 “being” is “becoming,” yet according to the standpoint its beginning. Preface: Substantiality is subjectivity (the I think); being is becoming—beingness and thinking.
How do we proceed to the exposition of “negativity”? (Cf. “Introduction” and “Preface” to the Phenomenology of Spirit). Substance as subject.
Thinking as a form of enactment; the pregiven guiding thread of the interpretation. Thinking [is] the guiding thread; beingness—thoughtness; but thinking [is] asserting (cf. Being and Time).
