Being
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
The beginning of the Logic. Pure being without any further determination---immediate, indeterminate, and therefore identical with nothing. Being and nothing pass over into becoming.
Origin: Parmenides: Being is. Hegel: Pure being is so empty that it is identical with nothing.
In Hegel: Enz. §§86-88; Science of Logic, Vol. 1, Doctrine of Being
Cross-references: Nothing, Becoming, Beginning, Logic of Being
