Um começo para o começo: início absoluto, aufhebung, necessidade e contingência em Hegel

Abstract

This article aims to ask and perhaps answer - with the help of commentators - two relevant points in Hegel's logic. The first, concerns the conception of the foundation of a philosophical system without a beginning: the idea of an unconditioned presupposition. The second, concerns the condition of the modalities of necessity and contingency in a logic that proposes to be absolute. As an absolute method, the science of logic exposes becoming as a condition of pure thought and Aufhebung appears as a central concept, as it is the engine that drives dialectics. This can be observed both in the Science of Logic (2016) - with the determinations of thought - and in the Phenomenology of the Spirit (2018) - with the figures of consciousness. It is observed that there is a relationship between the concepts of Aufhebung, necessity and absolute beginning. Therefore, from this relationship, the objective is to expose the condition of the modalities of necessity and contingency in an absolute system.
