Non-independent Moments

Determinations that cannot subsist on their own, but only as aspects of a whole. In contrast to independent determinations (which are conceivable in isolation), non-independent moments exist only in their unity. Example: repulsion and attraction are still independent movements in being-for-itself; in quantity they have become non-independent moments (discreteness and continuity - not separable). The movement from independent entities to moments is characteristic of Hegel's dialectical development.
