Sublation
Hegelian concept
The threefold sense Hegel hears in this word: to end, to preserve, to raise to a higher stage. A sublated determination is not gone, but contained as a moment of something richer.
Not meant
Abolition. When ethical life sublates morality, conscience does not vanish — it acquires a content that it did not have from itself alone.

Warum das hier wichtig ist
Almost every transition in this book is a sublation. Whoever reads it as abolition takes Hegel for a thinker who sacrifices the individual to the whole.
