I knew there was a book on Kant and another on Hegel that my father had written, and I searched for them and showed them to her.

SOA has gone through its Hegelian sublation, and can just be part of the landscape now that enables new initiatives.

But the crucial thing hasn't yet happened, because after all, in all of these accounts, even that of Hegel, there is no doubt about the authority of consciousness to think what it thinks.

Perhaps the best that can be hoped for is a rapid shift from antithesis to Hegelian synthesis.

I wanted to talk to the philosopher who had written about Kant and Hegel, and who had, as I knew, occupied himself with moral issues.
