Hegel's writing style may be dense but his ideas aren't sooo complicated as American pragmatists want you to believe. For example, he believed in the ultimate "identity of identity and difference." This is simple and easy to put. Of course, one could still write 200 pages on the topic. Mike

Yes, and Nagarjuna would also write more than a thousand years earlier on the ultimate and non-ultimate difference of "identity and difference" in compact aphorisms for training his fellow humans about the not operator.......:-)
