This transition from the concept of pure self-determination into the immediacy of being, and thus into naturalness, is purely speculative in nature; its cognition therefore belongs to logical philosophy. It is, moreover, on the whole the same transition that is known as the nature of the will in general, and is the process of translating a content out of subjectivity (as a purpose represented in thought) into determinate existence (\u00a7 8<\/a>). But the distinctive form of the Idea and of the transition considered here is the immediate turning<\/em> of the pure self-determination of the will (of the simple concept itself) into a this<\/em>, a natural determinate existence, without mediation through any particular<\/em> content \u2014 a purpose in action. \u2014 In the so-called ontological proof<\/em> of the existence of God<\/em>, it is this same turning of the absolute concept into being that constituted the depth of the Idea in more recent times, but which, in the most recent period, has been declared to be incomprehensible<\/em> \u2014 whereby, since it is only the unity of concept and determinate existence (\u00a7 23<\/a>) that constitutes truth, the cognition of truth<\/em> has been renounced. Since the consciousness of the understanding does not possess this unity within itself, and remains fixed at the separation<\/em> of the two moments of truth, it grants, at most, a kind of belief<\/em> in that unity with respect to this object. But since the conception of the monarch is regarded as wholly falling to ordinary consciousness, the understanding all the more persists in this separation and in the results flowing from its ratiocinating cleverness, and then denies that the moment of ultimate decision in the state is bound up, in and for itself<\/em> (i.e., in the concept of reason), with immediate naturalness; from which is first inferred the contingency<\/em> of this connection, and further \u2014 since the absolute difference of these moments is asserted to be what is rational \u2014 the irrationality of such a connection, so that the other consequences that disrupt the Idea of the state attach themselves to this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
