(1997) Hegel's phenomenology of spirit, Dordrecht, Springer.

Rupture, closure, and dialectic

Joseph C. Flay

pp. 149-164

The general intent of this paper is to examine Hegel's preoccupation with the question of beginnings. To anticipate, in Hegel's view every account in respect to its beginning — indeed, everything in respect to its beginning — is both immediate and mediated. All things therefore begin having already begun; all things begin in medias res. But if all things begin having already begun, all things begin as a rupture of one sort or another.1
