The sixty-eighth volume of the Klostermann collection of Heidegger’s works includes two works devoted to one of the most important moments in the history of European metaphysics Hegel’s philosophy. The concepts of "negativeness" and "experience" become central to thinking through Hegel's absolute metaphysics in the horizon of the history of being. To clarify the fundamental meaning of Hegel's philosophy, Heidegger is required to adopt a point of view that would be adequate to the subject, and to proceed from a principle capable of illuminating the structure of the Hegelian system in application to all areas of nature, art, morality, law and religion. A higher position in relation to Hegelian philosophy cannot be taken, since it simply does not exist within the framework of the self-consciousness of the spirit. Therefore, the basis for polemics, although it is found within Hegel's philosophy, should, according to Heidegger, be hidden from it itself as a fundamentally inaccessible and essentially indifferent ground.
