>logic is to be understood as the system of pure reason, as the realm of pure thought. This realm is truth as it is without veil and in its own absolute nature. It can therefore be said that this content is the exposition of God as he is in his eternal essence before the creation of nature and a finite mind.

>in 1818, [Hegel] was offered and took up the chair of philosophy at the University of Berlin, the most prestigious position in the German philosophical world.

>The EXOTERIC teaching of the Kantian philosophy — that the understanding ought not to go beyond experience, else the cognitive faculty will become a theoretical reason which by itself generates nothing but fantasies of the brain — this was a justification from a philosophical quarter for the renunciation of speculative thought.
-Section 3 Science of Logic

The greatest philosopher in the German speaking world believed in esoteric kantianism. I'll take his authority over these "leading" (according to who? you? lol) scholars.

Speculative cognition is the intuitive result of dialectic which in turn can be given a name and then itself in turn be used dialectically to further science. Speculation in its unexpressed intuitive state is mysticism proper but that same intellectual intuition expressed rationally and explicitly in prose demonstrations is mysticism demystified, a speculative system of thought.

The understanding does not exhaust the powers of the mind; it's power of synthesis (imagination),as opposed to analysis (understanding), gives us an intuition of a whole which the understanding only understands in parts, and that IS the mystical; but speculative philosophy then reanalyzes this new content provided by this intellectual intuition by means of the understanding. The mystical intuition is the same for the mystic as well as for the speculative philosopher; what separates them is that whereas the mystic stops at the intuition of the whole and leaves it uncomprehended, the speculative philosopher dares to try to understand both the whole and the parts in relation to the whole. The speculative philosopher does not just stand in contrast to the mystic, he is that same mystic at a higher stage of his development.

Those who lack the speculative ability to see the unity AND the difference between mysticism and speculative philosophy one-sidedly abstract from their unity and only payattention to their difference. They are stages in the development of spiritual conscious, with the speculative philosopher being one rung up the ladder through his expansion of understanding by means of his conceptualization of the mystic vision. In other words, the (common) understanding ALONE cannot arrive at the mystic vision, and imagination ALONE must need leave the mystic vision in its uncomprehended mystery (the stage of the mystic), but when you get someone who by means of the imagination has arrived at the mystic vision, and dares to understand that holistic vision (the stage of the speculative philosopher) then you have both the components necessary to express that holistic vision in terms of the understanding as the organic system of abstract identities, which when grasped as a concrete whole presents the mystic vision once again but now in the clearness and distinctness of the system of speculative philosophy, or the Absolute concept expressed and communicable through human language.

Separating the men from the Übermenschen since 1812

...the form of the positive judgement is accepted as something perfectly correct in itself, the question whether such a judgement is true depending solely on the content. Whether this form is in its own self a form of truth, whether the proposition it enunciates, the individual is a universal, is not inherently dialectical, is a question that no one thinks of investigating. It is straightway assumed that this judgement is, on its own account, capable of containing truth and that the proposition enunciated by any positive judgement is true, although it is directly evident that it lacks what is required by the definition of truth, namely, the agreement of the Notion and its object...

the proposition in the form of a judgment is not suited to express speculative truths; a familiarity with this fact is likely to remove many misunderstandings of speculative truths. Judgment is an identical relation between subject and predicate; in it we abstract from the fact that the subject has a number of determinatenesses other than that of the predicate, and also that the predicate is more extensive than the subject. Now if the content is speculative, the non-identical aspect of subject and predicate is also an essential moment, but in the judgment this is not expressed. It is the form of simple judgment, when it is used to express speculative results, which is very often responsible for the paradoxical and bizarre light in which much of recent philosophy appears to those who are not familiar with speculative thought.
