Does the Christian Logos connect to Hegel’s “cunning of reason”? If so, can that link be framed without a foundational metaphysic (secular naturalism included)? If not, does that make Wittgenstein right—or am I just mashing up ideas I don’t fully grasp?

>>25245135Hegel's cunning of reason is a secularized version of the old concept of providence, God secretly pulling the strings—"Man proposes, God disposes [because God has his own inscrutable plans! 'As high as the clouds are above the earth, so much higher are my thoughts to your thoughts']. It doesn't make sense to call H a secular naturalist though, really. He's an idealist, who thinks thought is the ultimate reality. As for whether the two can be linked without a foundational metaphysic, I don't think so, personally. Either God is immutable, as He clearly is, or "It," the Absolute, develops itself in history: spirit has to dive into existence to discover its being (the difference from Vedanta being that there's real change, real development, not a momentary forgetfulness that just loops infinitely every Kalpa). Hegel takes Christians to task early in his philosophy of history for being incurious, from his point of view, regarding the operations of providence.Not trying to figure out the nuts and bolts of God's plan.. a lazy attitude, or a proud attitude, or cowardly, whatever, disguised as piety. Frankly, 'anagogically' I think Hegel is kind of a Satanist. He wants to tempt mankind to worship or try to warm itself at the cold fire of its own light, instead of turning towards the true light. Like the serpent, he tempts us to come to knowledge of good and evil, showing that the apple of knowledge—the reason he insistently asks us to worship—is desirable and pleasing to the eye. Like the serpent the crime he induces us to commit is irreversible, though it does have a benefit—ironically, due to the same cunning! But of Logos, not reason. And cunning isn't the right word. The plans of God are not sneaky, they are simply beyond our grasp. That's all.
