The Language of the Already
Hegel says that the method of philosophy is positing what's already in a concept, but we have to be careful. What we do when we make explicit what's implicit is we do bring out a structure, but we also thereby come upon something new. So obviously in the move from Daz'ai, nor determinate being to something, we are bringing out a self relation that's implicit in the term of being. But being something is not reducible to being determinate. And similarly at the end of sense certainty, the complexity that sense certainty ends up with as its object isn't yet the thing with multiple properties that is the object of perception.
