Judgment

To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page

Not merely grammatical subject-predicate, but the "primal division" (Ur-Teilung) of the concept. The concept divides itself into its moments: the individual (subject) and the universal (predicate). "The rose is red" — the individual is determined as an instance of the universal.

Origin: Traditional logic: S is P as the basic form. Hegel: judgment as the concept's self-differentiation.

In Hegel: Enc. §166–180; SL Vol. 2, Subjective Concept, Judgment

Cross-references: Concept, Syllogism, U-P-I Structure, Differentiation
