Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Outline (1817), § 406:
§ 406. The thing is the middle term through which the extremes of the persons who, in the knowledge of their identity with the others, are at the same time independent, join together. My will has therein its determinate recognizable existence for them, through the immediate bodily seizure of possession, or through forming, or also through the mere marking of the thing.

§ 491. The thing is the middle term through which the extremes, who, in the knowledge of their identity as free and at the same time independent persons, join together. My will has, for them, its determinate recognizable existence in the thing, through the immediate bodily seizure of possession, or through forming, or also through the mere marking of it.

Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Outline (1830), § 491:
§ 491. The thing is the middle term, through which the extremes, who, in the knowledge of their identity as free and at the same time mutually independent persons, join together. My will has, for them, its determinate recognizable existence in the thing, through the immediate bodily seizure of possession, or through forming, or also through the mere marking of it.

These modes of taking possession contain the progression from the determination of individuality to that of universality. Physical seizure can take place only with respect to the individual thing, whereas marking is taking possession through representation. In this I conduct myself representationally, and mean that the thing, in its totality, is mine, not merely the part which I can take possession of bodily.
