Becoming
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
The unity of being and nothing. Not a temporal process, but a logical structure. Becoming is the truth of being and nothing - their movement into one another. Coming-to-be (from nothing to being) and ceasing-to-be (from being to nothing).
Origin: Heraclitus: everything flows. Hegel: becoming as a logical category, not merely as a natural process.
In Hegel: Enz. §88; Science of Logic, Vol. 1, Doctrine of Being
