Kant and Hegel on the Nature of Singularity and the Split in Modern Consciousness

The essence of individuality escapes categorical thought. An understanding of this fact is indispensable to any discourse on modernity. Hegel recognized that any attempt to speak of the concrete individual moves in the sphere of universal characteristics. Finite categories prove insufficient for attainment of truth if these are taken as "static dead boxes of the intelligence". The spirit of Kant's transcendental deduction is, however, a speculative principle, the identity of subject and object. This principle is to be followed in its "objective development" from the empirical realm of absolute aposteriorty, "for which no apriority other than a subjective maxim of reflective judgment can be given" through the chain of particularities to its reconstruction to identity and true infinity . In the "Physics of specific inidividuality" Hegel explores "cohesion" as basis for physical individuality, both the condition of intellectual unity and individuality and at the same time dependent on these for its ability to exist.
