ABSTRACT

We are approaching the last stage of our investigation: the question of the dialectical sublation of the representational form and its correlative, the religious stage of spirit, as these have been intepreted by Hegel’s theological critics. For Hegel, the representational form is sublated in both religious contemplation and the simplicity of thought: ‘In this form . . . , truth is the object of philosophy’.47 The return to the simplicity of thought occurs when ‘the unfolding of the mediation’ demonstrates substance as subject. The ‘absolute result’ marks the dialectical identity of subject (Father) and predicate (Son). The intra-trinitarian distinction resolves itself into the movement of a speculative proposition. But wouldn’t such a thought spell the ruin of any idea of divine transcendence?
