So much of modern thought is an attempt to escape Hegel by taking up an antithesis as attitude and then loudly insisting that by this you have escaped sublation. The labour involved in establishing this 'escape' proves to be endless, naturally. What perhaps escapes notice is that this very labour is the sublation. But it leads to something (or to a special kind of nowhere) that is nothing like Absolute Knowing! Well, that's only because you never had the least idea of what that Knowing is like or rather, precisely because you had the least idea. Indeed, there may well be an escape, but you can't get there from here.
