Hegel's Discussion on Three Methods of Examining Nature-Focusing on the"Various Methods of Studying Nature"in Philosophy of Nature
In the"Various Methods of Studying Nature"section of Philosophy of Nature,Hegel discusses three methods of examining nature:the practical method,the theoretical method,and the conceptualized cog-nition method,which serves as a unification of the first two.Hegel notes that the practical examination of na-ture is based on a teleological stance that views nature merely as a means to achieve one's own ends,encom-passing individuality without universality.Conversely,the theoretical method advocates for an intuitive ap-proach to nature,allowing nature to present itself as it is,encompassing universality without individuality.Building on the strengths of these two methods,Hegel proposes a conceptual cognition method as a unified approach to examining nature.He argues that this method,as a unification of the practical and theoretical ap-proaches,negates the one-sidedness of each,incorporating both individuality and universality,and thus repre-sents the highest form of examining nature.
