The words quoted above suggest the first of these alternatives. And this is supported by the passage which immediately follows them (GL, 257). In this we are told that with this identity we gain a Qualitative Something, since the identity is a unity which is formed by the negation of its differences. This on the whole suggests that...
Página 63 - ... Infinite Progress) renders it impossible to pass from one Quantum to another. This difference of the Antitheses in the two triads accounts for the difference in the Syntheses, though the general thought in both Syntheses is the same. With this stage of the dialectic the idea of Quality returns (GL, 281 ; Enc., 105). This is most clearly stated in the Encyclopaedia : " That the Quantum in its independent character is external to itself is what constitutes its quality. In that externality it is...

Página 309 - Logic (Hi. 327) . The Notion is here, "as a Person, impenetrable atomic Subjectivity." This does not, I think, indicate that the nature of the Universe as a whole is exemplified by personality, since the Universe would never be described by Hegel as impenetrable or atomic. It is, I think, the parts of the Universe which are to be regarded as having these characteristics, and as therefore having a nature exemplified in personality. In the second place, we have the statement that the Idea is its own...
Página 304 - The Absolute Idea. The idea, as unity of the subjective and objective Idea, is the notion of the Idea — a notion whose object is the Idea as such, and for which the objective is Idea — an Object which embraces all characteristics in its unity.
Página 180 - Substance is Cause, in so far as Substance reflects into self as against its passage into Accidentally, and so stands as the primary fact, but. again no less suspends this reflection-into-self (its bare possibility), lays itself down as the negative of itself, and thus produces an Effect, an actuality, which, though so far only assumed as a sequence, is through the process that effectuates it at the same time necessary...
Página 311 - Hegel has penetrated further into the true nature of reality than any philosopher before or after him." 1 Not that this high estimate warrants our stopping where he stopped. "The next task of philosophy should be to make a fresh investigation of that nature by a dialectic method substantially, though not entirely, the same as Hegel's.
Página 304 - It is its own content, in so far as it ideally distinguishes itself from itself, and the one of the two things distinguished is a self-identity in which however is contained the totality of the form as the system of terms describing its content. This content is the system of Logic. All that is at this stage left as form for the idea is the Method of this content, - the specific consciousness of the value and currency of the ' moments

The theory of limits, and the modern treatment of the Calculus as based on this theory, are by no means easy, and require careful study ; but philosophic criticism which is unaware of them can hardly hope to be fruitful. In Hegel's day, the procedure of mathematicians was full of errors, •which Hegel did not condemn as errors, but welcomed as antinomies ; the mathematicians, more patient than the philosophers, have...

It will then, I trust, be clear to every one, that Sanscrit and Hebrew have a radical affinity, and may claim descent from the same progenitor, existing at a given time, when the whole earth was of one language. This conclusion is perfectly agreeable to the axiom, that, if two things are equal to a third, they are equal to each other.
