Due, as an attachment, via the “Assignments” tool on eCommons, by midnight

Answer any two of the following questions, 3–4 pages for each answer, for a
total of 6–8 pages.
The questions are keyed to different sections of the text, with the idea that
each question is raised most centrally in that place. However, in keeping with the
fact that this is a final exam, and also with the self-applying nature of Hegel’s
system, each question also requires you to consider the section in question in light
of other sections.
Because this is an exam rather than a paper, I will give priority to accuracy
over originality in grading. However, all the questions do require some thought;
they can’t simply be read out of the texts. Moreover, in many (if not all) cases the
“correct” answer is unavoidably a matter of interpretation: in such cases it would
be safest to reproduce what I said in class, but it will also be acceptable if you’re
clearly following some other reasonable interpretation. And, of course, as usual,
your answer must be “original” in the sense that it is your own work. (If
you use any outside source—which I don’t recommend—you must cite
it.)
You can cite pages in our text by section number, adding “R” for Remark or
“A” for Addition if applicable, and page number.
