This second moment of determination<\/em> is just as much negativity<\/em>, a negating, as the first \u2014 namely, it is the negation of the first abstract negativity. \u2014 Just as the particular in general is contained within the universal, so this second moment is already contained within the first and is only a positing<\/em> of what the first already is in itself<\/em>; \u2014 the first moment, as the first for itself, is not true infinity or concrete<\/em> universality, the Concept, \u2014 but only something determinate<\/em> and one-sided; precisely because it is the abstraction from all determinacy, it is itself not without<\/em> determinacy; and being an abstract, one-sided thing constitutes its determinacy, deficiency, and finitude. \u2014 The distinction and determination of the two moments mentioned is found in Fichte’s<\/em> philosophy, as well as in Kant’s<\/em>, etc.; yet, to stay with Fichte\u2019s presentation, the I<\/em> as the unlimited (in the first proposition of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre<\/i>) is taken entirely as something positive<\/em> (thus it is the universality and identity of the understanding), so that this abstract I is supposed to be true in itself<\/em>, and consequently limitation<\/em> \u2014 negativity in general, whether as a given, external limit or as the I’s own activity \u2014 is added<\/em> (in the second proposition). \u2014 To grasp the negativity<\/em> immanent in the universal or identical, such as in the I<\/em>, was the further step that speculative philosophy had to take \u2014 a need of which those have no inkling who do not even grasp the dualism<\/em> of infinity<\/em> and finitude<\/em> in its immanence and abstraction, as Fichte does.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
