Hegel’s Sense-Certainty 94

“It is not just we who make this distinction between essence and instance, between immediacy and mediation; on the contrary, we find it within sense”,certainty itself, and it is to be taken up in the form in which it is present there, not as we have just defined it. One of the terms is posited in sense-certainty in the form of a simple, immediate being, or- as the essence, the object; the other, however, is posited as what is unessential and mediated, something which in sense-certainty is not in itself but through [the mediation of] all other, the ‘I’, a knowing which knows the object only because the object is, while the knowing may either be or not be. But the object is: it is what is true, or it is the essence. It is, regardless of whether it is known or not; and it remains, even if it is not known, whereas there is no knowledge if the object is not there.”

The whole understanding of events was that ‘I’ and the ‘object’ was present in Sense- Certainty not because we interpreted or defined between the essence and instance, between immediacy and mediation.
We take forward the understanding of Sense-Certainty without the interference of mind. An ancient man who was born in Desert and moved like a nomad when he came to see a mountain. He never saw the huge stone before, the moment he saw it, an awesome experience without previous memory, seeing the object as it is without naming it or comparing it, such experience is Sense-Certainty.
Hegel’s expression of Sense-Certainty was simple. it is more like a being or essence. Further he states the ‘object’ as other is there even when there is no subject of ‘I’.
The subject the knower comes into effect only when the object is present and at the same time, the ‘Object’ is there and very much there even when the subject is absent. In simple terms. The known is available without the knower but There is no knower in ‘I’ when the known is missing. Here the knower is ‘I’ and the known is ‘Object’
