In his latest essay, Hegel’s Realm of Shadows, R. Pippin presents the results of his new reading of Hegel’s Science of Logic. The innovation of his proposal is his recognition of the metaphysical dimension of the speculative logic. However, this does not imply a complete denial of his previous interpretation which he supported in his 1989 essay, Hegel’s Idealism. The Satisfaction of Self- Consciousness. There, the scholar argued the need for a non-metaphysical reading of Hegel, whose philosophical aim appears to be the development of the transcendental project of self-justification of reason rather than a return to dogmatic metaphysics. Pippin now claims that Hegel’s aim is indeed realized, to the extent that his philosophy does make a metaphysical commitment, but it is a post-Kantian one. What changes, therefore, is the very account of metaphysics. Metaphysics is no longer understood as an a priori knowledge of the substance, but rather, in line with Aristotle, as the determination of what is.
