#Presuppositionless
My guess: this is because in philosophy we have lower self-expectations. Analytic philosophy has aspirations to scientific status, and strands of Continental have Hegelian dreams of a presuppositionless starting point - but in the main we are humanities scholars who wearily accept permanent discord.

When you ask whether Hegel's philosophy is truly "presuppositionless", remember that "presupposition" itself only acquire a determinate meaning for Hegel through the self-development of the logic. So, Hegel's logic gets to define for itself what it would mean for it to be presuppositionless.

it's like Aristotle's Metaphysics 3.0: Super Turbo Edition, powered by a method of absolute presuppositionless thinking that makes Descartes' doubt sound like a little baby

Is it possible to think about something without presuppositions? Can a philosophical method be fully immanent? What does any of this have to do with freedom? Tune in for a brief discussion on these questions by Filip and Ahilleas.

kant: nooooo we cannot access the thing-in-itself

hegel: truly presuppositionless philosophy cannot assume a gap between being and thought

those are the Questions Presented afaict

and they are irreducibly hermeneutical questions

NYT CNN AP et al do not and cannot do presuppositionless coverage, they begin with presuppositions

intent may seem clear sometimes

leave the Hegel, take Nietzsche and Freud for details

Philosophical consequence:

The alternative-less constitution of Being is the precondition for everything.
Everything is to be understood here in the most comprehensive possible sense.

Being is presuppositionless.

The paper is an inquiry into whether Hegel's claim that his Science of Logic is presuppositionless is true. The paper argues that while some presuppositions don't undermine his project, one layer of presuppositions is crucial and may challenge the coherence of his work.

To investigate direct language experience, inquiry must be founded on the spontaneous level of experience.

(This spontaneity can be linked to pheno-'s presuppositionless philosophy - to suspend judgement. Yes, I'm aware of what Derrida adds here.)

The more secondary literature I read, the more I am realizing I am might be a Schellingian of some sort. The presuppositionless philosophical science will be made true the moment it takes natural history seriously. However, to confess, there is a shorter path to enlightenment, which is the Zhuangzi

Absolute Batman resembles that Highway of Despair which is to lead us to the presuppositionless starting point of the Logic but is told in the form of the image and does not comprehend itself just yet as the concept.

Also punching Nazis and the fight against Bane was great.

Kant: reason contradicts itself when pushed to its limits.

Hegel: follow the contradiction through. That is presuppositionless thinking — founding commitment of the Science of Logic.

"If you extol reason, what matters is the integrity of the thoughts, not the personalities of the thinkers." — Pinker

Hegel's term: presuppositionless thinking. Follow the argument, not the authority.

Hegel's Idealism seminar at CUHK this Friday. At the heart of Hegel's idealism: thinking must begin from nothing — no smuggled assumptions, no borrowed foundations.

What does presuppositionless thinking actually involve?

The Hegel Society of America's 2026 theme: "Hegel and Time."

Worth asking: does the Science of Logic unfold in time — or in a way that's strictly non-temporal?

Hegel: real freedom means putting your own assumptions on trial.

"If we are committed to freedom, we should be open to inquiring into what we know."

What does genuine freedom require? Thinking without assumptions. Hegel called this presuppositionless thinking.

As Ahilleas aptly put it at yesterday's seminar, Hegel raises the standard of critical inquiry with presuppositionless thinking-but that also means we must hold him to account on that score! #hegel #presuppositionlessthinking #criticalthinking #thinking #philosophy
