'Hegel also calls the "speculative dialectic" simply "method." By this he means neither an instrument of representing not merely a special way of philosophy. "Method" is the innermost movement of subjectivity, "the soul of being"--that sounds like fantasy. It is commonly thought that our age has left behind such errors of speculation. Yet we are living right in the midst of this supposed fantasy.''When modern physics aims at a formula of the world, then it becomes apparent that being of beings has dissolved itself in the method of total calculability.'
'People take offense at Hegel's statement concerning the completion of philosophy. People regard it as arrogant and characterize it as an error that has long been refuted by history. For after Hegel's time there continued to be philosophy and there still is philosophy. But the statement concerning the completion of philosophy does not mean that philosophy is at an end in the sense of cessation and breaking off. Rather the completion first provides the possibility of diverse transformations down to the simplest forms: brutal inversion and vehement opposition. Marx and Kierkegaard are the greatest of Hegelians. They are this against their will. The completion of philosophy is neither its end nor does it consist in an isolated system out of speculative idealism. The completion is only as the whole course of the history of philosophy, in whose course the beginning remains as essential as the completion: Hegel and the Greeks.'
(Martin Heidegger, Hegel and the Greeks)
