As a model of close reading applied both to philosophical texts and the making of philosophical systems, \u003ci\u003eThe Speculative Remark\u003c\/i\u003e played a significant role in transforming the practice of philosophy away from system building to analysis of specific linguistic detail, with meticulous attention to etymological, philological, and rhetorical nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNancy uses his extended examination of the \u003ci\u003eRemark\u003c\/i\u003e to delineate certain overall strategies in several Hegelian texts that militate for language-oriented readings of Hegel, as shown in Nancy's redefinition of such key terms as \u003ci\u003eAufhebung\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003emediation\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003especulation\u003c\/i\u003e. Nancy's reading progresses from speculative words and propositions to registering the speculative itself. While he avoids analyzing Hegel's system as such, Nancy reconstructs the Hegelian trajectory on a basis of tropes, building from propositions rather than structures, elements, and cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe overview that emerges in the final chapter and epilogue constitutes a broad statement about Hegel's practice and significance, one nuanced by close attention to his deployment of rhetoric and linguistic play. \u003ci\u003eThe Speculative Remark\u003c\/i\u003e thus furnishes a model for a theoretically aware approach to all systematic philosophy, while providing a significant historical contribution to the evolution of contemporary critical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614205984919,"sku":"9780804737135","price":11907.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780804737135.webp?v=1775091813","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-speculative-remark-one-of-hegels-bons-mots-9780804737135","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
