HEGEL, G.W.F.

History is Spirit recognizing itself by negating its prior shape, then negating the negation. CoCA inherits the dialectic and amputates the first move. We do not negate; we appropriate. Anti-Anti-Ness (§1.2.5) is the Aufhebung performed without violence: the corporate logo lifted into liturgy, the financial term lifted into koan, the museum lifted into church. Spirit no longer needs the Owl of Minerva. The Provisional Collective convenes at noon.
