It is stikingly evident that Hegel some-
times passes from the abstract to the con-
crete (Sein[1] (abstract)—Dasein[2] (con-
crete)—Fürsichsein[3]) and sometimes the
other way round (the Subjective Notion—
the Object—Truth (the Absolute Idea)).
Is not this inconsistency of an ideal-
ist (what Marx called the “Ideenmystik”[4]
in Hegel?) Or are there deeper reasons?
(e.g., Being = Nothing—the idea of Be-
times passes from the abstract to the con-

If Marx did not leave behind him a
“Logic” (with a capital letter), he did leave
the logic of Capital, and this ought to be
utilised to the full in this question. In
Capital, Marx applied to a single science
logic, dialectics and the theory of knowl-
edge of materialism [three words are not
needed: it is one and the same thing]
which has taken everything valuable in
Hegel and developed it further.
