The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that one of the reasonsfor Hegel’s failure in consummating the project of “construct the absolute forconsciousness” presented in 1801 in his Writing on Difference consisted in thepatent mismatch between the negativity to which the determinations of finitudewould be submitted and the conception of the absolute still substantially thought.Precisely, what we call here the archaism of substantiality would set the tone ofthis mismatch that still entailed the heterogeneity between finitude, with its wayof ascending to the absolute, and the absolute itself. Among other things, thiswill become clearer observing the formalism of the intuitionist proposal thatHegel presents at that time, aiming to safeguard the elevation of consciousnesswithout its intrinsic negativity tainting the absolutity of the principle to whichit was elevated.
