This book sets out from a counterintuitive premise: the "mystical shell" of Hegel's
system proves to be its most "rational kernel." Hegel's radicalism is located precisely
at the point where his thought seems to regress most. Most current readings try to
update Hegel's thought by pruning back his grandiose claims to "absolute knowing."
Comay and Ruda invert this deflationary gesture by inflating what seems to be most
trivial: the absolute is grasped only in the minutiae of its most mundane appearances.
Reading Hegel without presupposition, without eliminating anything in advance or making
any decision about what is essential and what is inessential, what is living and what
is dead, they explore his presentation of the absolute to the letter.0 The Dash is
organized around a pair of seemingly innocuous details. Hegel punctuates strangely.
He ends the Phenomenology of Spirit with a dash, and he begins the Science of Logic
with a dash. This distinctive punctuation reveals an ambiguity at the heart of absolute
knowing. The dash combines hesitation and acceleration. Its orientation is simultaneously
retrospective and prospective. It both holds back and propels. It severs and connects.
It demurs and insists. It interrupts and prolongs. It generates nonsequiturs and produces
explanations. It leads in all directions: continuation, deviation, meaningless termination.
This challenges every cliche about the Hegelian dialectic as a machine of uninterrupted
teleological progress. The dialectical movement is, rather, structured by intermittency,
interruption, hesitation, blockage, abruption, and random, unpredictable change-a
rhythm that displays all the vicissitudes of the Freudian drive
