Hegel in the office
More evidence of the influence of Hegel on fragile minds: the other day at work I was writing a specification for a database (I have such an exciting job, you can just tell). I reread a paragraph and noticed that I’d included a long digression about how the Concept of the Data had made its structure manifest in the information we had collected. Admittedly, without the cod-Hegelian capitals, but it was impressively content-free and incomprehensible; of course, I left it in.
Meanwhile, I was reading a position paper (even more exciting, see) in which the author praised a proposal as “immanently sensible�. I should go along to the meeting and object that immediate sense-experience is self-contradictory, and needs to be sublimated into the dialectic of self-consciousness.
