A recent trend in Hegel scholarship has recognized an irreducibly metaphysical component. Unlike traditional metaphysical views, this trend, sometimes referred to as the revised metaphysical view, accepts significant Kantian influence on Hegel, but also sees a rebuttal and counter-critique. Such a Hegel avoids the excesses of traditional metaphysics, including ontotheological speculation, but does not avoid metaphysics altogether. To extend this effort to understand Hegel's metaphysics, without suggesting an argument for the existence of God, I here point to Hegel's ontological argument as the one, indispensable interpretational key that he himself has provided for this purpose. Unfortunately, this argument is not only hard to detect because of the way Hegel presents it, but it is also difficult to accept because it takes a very unexpected form; it is a deduction in the ordinary sense. Perhaps without exception, scholars today think that Hegel could not possibly be using a deduction because deductive logic is considered to be antithetical to his project. It is true that Hegel criticized logic's traditional practice for being dogmatic, and he did detect oppositional themes within the method of deduction itself, but Hegel neither condemned nor abandoned deduction. Instead, he worked to redeem it by purging its practice of two errors: presupposition and finitude. This is accomplished by means of the special properties of the Disjunctive Syllogism, a deduction that Hegel takes pains to develop as a circular and self-mediating concept. Using this form, Hegel developed the science of logic in such a way that it could be understood as healing its own internal divisions deductively. This form of thought thus restores to itself its capacity to deduce. Hegel tells us that Thought thinks itself. The form of this thought is the disjunctive syllogism, the content of this form is Thought itself, and the result is an argument that unifies this concept with this object. A deduction that does this is an ontological argument. Hegel leverages this form in his bid to meet what has been called the holistic condition, the view popular in Hegel's day that a monism could ground philosophy by overcoming Kantian dualism.
