(I can really only do your question a modicum of justice by answering metaphorically.) That Anglo-American analytic philosophy, which has dominated much of 20th century Western philosophy and Western thought, was doomed from the start. It treated ontological Being as fixed, as beings nailed to a wall, lifeless and immobile. Hegelian philosophy, more than anything, is about movement.

Also I thought that 20th century analytic thought dissolved metaphysics entirely and didn't want to talk about it. I mean sure then you can question, "why delete metaphysics" but then you can't say that the 20th century brought this kind of stuff

> It treated ontological Being as fixed, as beings nailed to a wall, lifeless and immobile.

This reads more as a response to Plato & Kant

"didn't want to talk about it", absolutely. "dissolved metaphysics entirely", absolutely not.

Look, I read Continental philosophers too and I think they're cool, my point is that that kind of statement isn't what an analytic philosopher would say

[sigbottle]

Wait I thought Heidegger claimed that title? Or is he the guy who shifted Being from a noun to a verb, and Hegel's still focusing on the noun (just that the noun itself is a moving concept)?
