The structure of the Phenomenology of Spirit was affected by the new, post-Enlightenment historical consciousness, as well as by the historicity of reason that Hegel discovered. A comparison of the conclusive lines of the «Introduction» and the ending of «Absolute Knowing» shows that what Hegel eventually delivers is something different from what he intended at the beginning. In the end, the initial consciousness discloses, not just das «System der Wissenschaft», but the contingent history organized in the science of knowing as it appears. Finally, I suggest reading this historicity as an acute awareness of the present.
