What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani approaches the immediate mainly through sense-certainty in Hegel. Sense-certainty believes itself to be the richest and truest knowledge, whereas it is the most abstract and the poorest1. He compares this immediate grasp to the back of Plato's cave: the "here" it aims at is a point that does not exist2. Using the example of the wax, he shows that what we take for an immediate sensation is already a judgement3. He adds that our relation to nature is never immediate, because it passes through millennia of praxis that remain unconscious in us4. He also notes that the immediate and mediation can coexist, as in the gesture of offering fruit5, and that broadcasting tears us away from an immediate world that one may miss, that of early music-hall6. Finally, he describes natural spiritual life as an immediate innocence that spirit must absorb into something higher7.
