absolute knowing

absolute

G.W.F. Hegel

is thought that does not know being as such, but which determines what counts as 'being', what such 'being' could intelligibly be for a self-conscious subject.

Pippin's Hegel claims, not that thought knows being as such, but that though determines what counts as 'being', what such 'being' could intelligibly be for a self-conscious subject

is thought that knows being or substance in itself and, indeed, that knows itself to be the consciousness that being has of itself.

I argue that, for Hegel, absolute knowing is thought that knows being or substance in itself and, indeed, tha knows itself to be the consciousness that being has of itself
