Abstract
This paper explores what is considered the foundational principle of Hegel's systematic philosophy. Despite assertions from influential studies suggesting the absence of a principle in Hegel's system due to his critique of so-called philosophical foundationalism and his argument for the circular structure of system, “the cycle of cycles, ” I propose that the principle is best identified as “the identity of identity and non-identity.” Hegel introduces this concept in both his early work, The Difference between Fichte's and Schelling's Systems of Philosophy (1801), as well as in his mature work, Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Basic Outline (1830). By scrutinizing the meaning and the function of this principle in these texts, the analysis reveals that it should be interpreted as a concept implying systematic self-development leading to the establishment of a comprehensive system and a self-returning movement to the principle itself. Consequently, I contend that Hegel's philosophy can be reasonably understood as a form of foundationalistic philosophy grounded in “the identity of identity and non-identity”.
