Hegel and the Skepticism of Plato’s Parmenides
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: I address a gap in the literature on Hegel and skepticism. While there is a substantial literature on Hegel’s engagement with Pyrrhonian skepticism, there is little commentary on his engagement with Plato’s Parmenides, which Hegel considers to qualify as a perfect form of skepticism. I argue that Hegel finds in the Parmenides a simplified form of determinate negation—one of his central concepts—and that this simplified form allows us to solve an interpretive puzzle surrounding the fully developed form of determinate negation present in Hegel’s texts.
