    Key Terms

    Hegel(as the main philosopher referenced in this statement)
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher (1770-1831) who argued that reality and human thought develop through a process of contradiction and resolution, constantly evolving toward greater understanding.
    Incoherent(describing whether moral responsibility can exist)
    Logically impossible or contradictory; something that cannot make sense or cannot exist at the same time as something else.
    Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics)
    Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
    Science of Logic(as the specific text being discussed)
    Hegel's major work that describes how abstract concepts and categories develop and relate to each other, serving as the foundation for understanding reality itself.

    empty abstraction(what Hegel says being becomes when separated from thought)
    A concept that sounds meaningful but has no actual content or connection to reality—like talking about something that's completely divorced from any real experience or use.
