Holism and idealism in Hegel's Phenomenology† Robert B. Brandom
Main Article Content
"Consciousness," the initial section of Hegel's Phenomenology, deals with the understanding of the physical world around us. The next section, "Self-Awareness," begins to consider our understanding of ourselves and others. This order of discussion is neither arbitrary nor merely convenient. On the contrary, one of the main lessons that we have to learn towards the end of the development of “consciousness” is that our best conception of the world that is the object of our cognitive activities is intelligible only as a part of a story that also considers the nature of the subject who engages in such activities. The reason for this expository transition is an important aspect in Hegel's idealism. In this chapter I offer a rational reconstruction of an argument that I see as the support for this transition and the type of idealism that it implies.
