Hegel’s Jena Moment, most powerfully exemplified by the 1804–5 System-Project, is the undiscovered continent of Hegel’s writings, the future anterior of Hegelian thought. As Oleg Gelikman has observed, Hegel’s own work exemplifies the structure which he gives to time in his own future anterior. This makes Hegelian thought both possible and impossible, a dialectical dilemma which this book will confront. Its non-traditional resolution is that Hegel takes impossibility as the fundamental logical modality for his philosophical program. Rediscovering the future anterior in the Jena Moment fundamentally alters the perspective for reading Hegel’s entire philosophical corpus, and the Logic and Metaphysics from the 1804–5 System-Project stand as the most concentrated and radical expression of Hegel’s forward path of thinking. On the basis of the gloss of the Logic and Metaphysics from the 1804–5 System-Project provided in this book, a new path opens for a more sophisticated and trenchant reception of Hegel’s work in the twenty-first century.
