“A large part of my indebtedness is to Jean Hyppolite. I know that, for
many, his work is associated with that of Hegel, and that our age, whether
through logic or epistemology, whether though Marx or through Nietzsche, is
attempting to flee Hegel….But truly to escape Hegel involves an exact
appreciation of the price we have to pay to detach ourselves from him. It
assumes that we are aware of the extent to which Hegel, insidiously perhaps,
is close to us; it implies a knowledge, in that which permits us to think
against Hegel, of that which remains Hegelian. We have to determine the
extent to which our anti-Hegelianism is possibly one of his tricks directed
against us, at the end of which he stands, motionless, waiting for us.”
(Michel Foucault “Discourse on Language”)
