Cycle

The cycle is the figure of the movement that returns into itself. Logic ends where it begins (with pure being), but enriched by all its mediations. Every section forms a circle: quality – quantity – measure – return to quality (but mediated). The absolute circle: "The circle is not a closed circle, but one that closes itself." The movement is not circular-empty but spiral-productive: every return is a new beginning on a higher level. The system is a circle of circles.
