Homosexuality Appeared As One Of The Forms

[t]ruly To Escape Hegel Involves An Exact Appreciation Of The Price We Have To Pay To Detach Ourselves From Him. It Assumes That We Are Aware Of The Extent To Which Hegel, Insidiously Perhaps, Is Close To Us; It Implies A Knowledge, In That Which Permits Us To Think Against Hegel, Of That Which Remains Hegelian.
