Boundary
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
Not merely limitation, but also determination. The boundary is that through which something is what it is --- but at the same time that beyond which it strives. The dialectic of the boundary: it defines and limits at the same time.
Origin: Traditionally: boundary as deficiency. In Hegel: boundary as productive --- it compels toward transgression.
In Hegel: Enc. §92; SL Vol. 1, Quality
