A speculative approach to the truth in G.W.F. Hegel's philosophy

The study considers the problematic of speculativity of Hegel's philosophy that is relevant to the history of philosophy as well as to the natural history. The concept of truth is considered from the standpoint of the correspondence of knowledge of reality, which correlates with the classical understanding of truth, realized in Hegel's philosophy. A comparative analysis of Hegel's knowledge theory and Kant's knowledge theory allows identifying aspects of speculativity that contain a development potential for religious studies since philosophy's form of truth cognition has been established in the vein of religion. Negativity implements through predicativity and is a core part of a dialectic. A key factor is predicativity. It is the predicate that reveals the subject, shows its nature, reveals a specific objective content that undergoes as it becomes recognized. The main property of a predicate is to provide difference between a subject and other subjects.
