  44. On the question of the relation between concepts and time, compare Kenley R. Dove, “Hegel’s Phenomenological Method,” The Review of Metaphysics, 1970, mainly p. 619. My own feeling is that the interpretation which leads to a view that there is not that much of a gap between the level of concept and the level of time is very much under the influence of the contemporary Existenz-Philosophy and the importance or even preponderance of time within the world view of that type of philosophy. There are signs, as at least one reader read them, that Hegel becomes a philosopher whose system is getting incorporated into different systems whose “primary intuition” differs from that of Hegel.
