Note 101 — Chapter III

Francis Plumptre Beresford Osmaston translation

I find this analysis of the image more than usually difficult to follow, I have therefore made my translation very literal. I must confess that this distinction between the image and the metaphor appears to me rather an example of hyper-subtlety on Hegel's part, or as some might say, an effort to make what is virtually only a verbal distinction correspond to a more real difference of idea.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
