Positing Reflection
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
The first form of reflection, in which thought itself produces ("posits") its determinations. Positing reflection is purely with itself, circular, self-referential. Its result is "positedness" --- determinations that have no independent standing, because they exist only through the act of positing.
In Hegel: Science of Logic II, first section, "Essence as Reflection Within Itself"
