Knowledge, Hegel insists, develops. Like Aristotle, he takes biology and the organic as his paradigm, not physics and not mathematics. Consciousness, too, is not timeless, nor is it just the transcendental perspective from which or within which we gain knowledge of the world. Consciousness grows. It develops new concepts and categories. It finds itself torn between one “form of consciousness” and another, and it learns to reconcile them or, in any case, move beyond them. Consciousness and knowledge are dynamic. They are a dialectic (see Part I). They grow through confrontation and conflict, not by way of mere observation and understanding.
知識, Hegel 堅持, 像Aristotle, 他採取生物和有機作為他的範例, 不是物理和不是數學。 知覺, , 不是永恆的, 亦不是它或在的卓越的透視哪些之內我們獲取世界的知識。 知覺增長。 它開發新概念和類別。 它發現自己被撕毀在一"知覺的形式" 和另之間, 並且它學會和解他們或, 行動在他們之外。 知覺和知識動態。 他們是辯證(參見部份I) 。 他們增長通過交鋒和衝突, 不是通過僅僅觀察和瞭解。
