Hegel’s reason is both a priori and a posteriori in absolute unity

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 (#expands, via linked claim)

‘Time’, Hegel states in this paragraph, is ‘the being which, in being, is not and in not-being, is’. A dialectical understanding of this phrase brings out its necessary ‘double meaning’. Normally, it can be understood in the first and primary way: time is and is not to the degree that its moments cancel each other out; the present is a ‘now’ which exists, but as it is something which passes, it will soon, almost immediately in fact, exist no longer; this is the present as an instant hanging between two non-existents, the past and the future. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 253 (#expands, via linked claim)
