Being

Hegel (Logic of Being, Beginning)

The beginning of the Logic. Pure being without any further determination---immediate, indeterminate, and therefore identical with nothing. Being and nothing pass over into becoming.

Origin

Parmenides: Being is. Hegel: Pure being is so empty that it is identical with nothing.

In Hegel

Enz. §§86-88; Science of Logic, Vol. 1, Doctrine of Being
