Space
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
The most abstract determination of nature: asunderness without further determination.
Origin: From Plato's chora through Descartes' res extensa to Newton's absolute space and Leibniz's relational space. Hegel sides with none of these: for him space is neither container nor order, but the poorest form of asunderness.
