The present article is concerned about what Hegel calls ‘method of carrying it out’ in the Introduction of the Phenomenology of Spirit. My aim is to give an explanation about how this method works in such a way that it achieves the goals that Hegel impose to himself. In particular, my purpose is to give an explanation about why the new object for each figure of consciousness is in each case a different one, and why the new object emerges from the correction of the knowledge embodied in a particular figure of consciousness. I focus my efforts in criticising the answers to those questions that I got from various authors, whith special attention to: Kenneth Westphal (1998), Robert Brandom (2019), Stephen Houlgate (2013), and Robert Pippin (1989). After I criticise those answers, I will propose a sketch of my own explanation, which resorts to an internal criterion of truth analogous to the one which Spinoza uses in his philosophy.
