There is a philosophical term in Hegel for thinking in finite
categories. He calls it Understanding. When you recognize that
the categories of thought are not finite but move, and when you
know how and why they move, then your method is the method
of Reason. Don’t think you know that categories move. You
don’t. You just don’t until you know how and why. You must
be patient and humble. Hegel says it a thousand times. All error,
in thought and action, comes from this. All error. All. He is right,
so we will, if you please, look and stop and look again and in
and out and in and out and round and about, constantly setting
off in different directions from the same spot.
