During this essay, Hegel tried to teach how Fichte's Science of Knowledge was once an strengthen from the location of Kant within the Critique of natural Reason, and the way Schelling (and by the way Hegel himself) had made one other strengthen from the placement of Fichte.

Hegel unearths the idealism of Fichte too abstractly subjective and formalistic, and he attempts to teach how Schelling's philosophy of nature is the therapy for those weaknesses. however the most vital philosophical content material of the essay is maybe to be present in his common advent to those serious efforts the place he bargains with a few difficulties approximately philosophical procedure in a fashion that is of normal curiosity to philosophers, and never simply fascinating to those that settle for the Hegelian "dialectic procedure" which grew out of those first beginnings. ultimately, the Difference essay is necessary within the improvement of "Nature-Philosophy" as a move within the background of technology.
