Is the SL true? Hegel has shown the question is itself invalid. Truth is the "the agreement of thought with its object." (44) Yet, at the end of the SL, thought and object have coincided. The question "is it true?" presupposes the distinction between subject and object and therefore is not a well formed question within Hegel's system. What is true in Hegel system is that both subject and object self-erase. That is the Idea.
