Deep dives
Development of Hegel's observations on sincerity and perception
Hegel develops his observations on sincerity and perception into an account of force and understanding, which further transforms into desire and recognition. He analyzes how certainty assumes the truth of the immediate world, but this assumption is incompatible with actual reality. This recognition compels us towards other forms of self-understanding, highlighting the theoretical and pre-theoretical aspects of consciousness.
