Being-for-itself
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
The category of being that comes together with itself in its otherness. Not merely for another (existence, Dasein), but for itself. The first form of self-relation at the level of being.
Origin: Hegel's development in the Logic of Being as the completion of quality. Transition from existence through finitude to being-for-itself.
In Hegel: Enc. §96-98; SL Vol. 1, Quality
