• Grund (Ground / Sufficient Reason, Hegel)

  Grund — ground, sufficient reason — is the third and closing chapter of the Erster Abschnitt of the Doctrine of Essence (GW 11 raw 4924–5263). Grund is what remains when the four Reflexionsbestimmungen (Identität → Verschiedenheit → Gegens…

• Identität (Identity, Hegel)

  Identität is the first of the four Reflexionsbestimmungen in the Doctrine of Essence (GW 11 raw 4574–4634). Hegel's cardinal thesis: "Die Identität ist also an ihr selbst absolute Nichtidentität" (raw 4598) — identity at itself is absolute…

• Reflexion (Hegel)

  Hegel's Reflexion — the engine of the entire Doctrine of Essence — is not a subjective comparison-and-generalization activity (Kantian reflection) nor introspection (Cartesian-Lockean). It is an ontological structure of Wesen itself: "abso…

• Verschiedenheit (Diversity / Difference, Hegel)

• Wesen (Essence, Hegel)

  Hegel's Wesen — Essence — is the middle book of the Wissenschaft der Logik and the only section Hegel never revised. Wesen is not a hidden substrate behind Sein but Sein's own zeitlos vergangene recoil into itself: knowledge that wants the…
