Hegel’s ontology of consciousness remains framed entirely in terms of knowledge.

Evidence

God is this: not merely to be in himself, but to be just as essentially for himself. That God is spirit consists in this: that he is not only the essence that maintains itself in thought but also the essence that appears, the essence that endows itself with revelation and objectivity (Gegenständlichkeit). Although we consider the idea of God this way in the philosophy of religion, we at the same time also have before us the mode of God’s representation. God represents only himself and does so only to himself (er stellt sich nur vor und stellt sich selber vor sich). This is the aspect of the being-there (Dasein) of the absolute. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 815 (#contradicts, via linked claim)

Let us look more closely at this dimension of being. We said that consciousness is the knowing being in his capacity as being and not as being known. This means that we must abandon the primacy of knowledge if we wish to establish that knowledge. Of course consciousness can know and know itself. But it is in itself something other than a knowledge turned back upon itself. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 128 (#contradicts, via linked claim)

For Hegel, this syllogism marks the appearance (Erscheinung) of science as a ‘subjective cognition (connaissance) of which liberty is the aim, and which is itself the way to produce it’. Its correlative is the intellectual position reached by the philosopher who, having arrived at the end of his process of formation, now experiences the sheer liberty of thinking for himself. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 978 (#complicates, via linked claim)
