| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 哲學研究所 === 99 === The spirit, as the potential absolute subject, seeks to attain absolute self-knowing through the mediation of itself as phenomenal consciousness, thereby allowing the substance and the subject to achieve reconciliation in a true sense. The spirit is by nature a concrete and developing life. To be concrete, the affirmative side of knowing must result from the supersession of its own negative side. To be developing, the true must not lie in one static principle, but in the whole the principle has brought out of itself. To be alive, philosophy requires complete devotion and inevitable efforts. The dialectical movement of spirit which exists in knowing and knows in existence gradually strips the opposites of their immediacy and strangeness, revealing them as different but unified moments of an organic whole. The spirit which has taken the phenomenal road acquires the concept as the element of self-knowing, set to accomplish itself in the form of scientific system. As the guide to science, phenomenology gains its scientific nature as well, thereby rendering the mundane sacred, the contingent necessary, while consciousness is equipped in itself with every prerequisite for the ascent to science and the participation in absolute life.
