Sample text

Think of the whole world not as men, land, sky, horses. air, buildings. Just think of it in its capacity of existing. Pure absolute being. Good. But when you think that. you are thinking-nothing. Pure being-pure nothing. Something emerges, it "becomes" and you have " being determinate" . It has a quality. But a coin on a table negates some of the table. So that "Determinate Being" is Being-for-self but being­ for-another. Men who work are one being. being-for-self, but not quantity quantity. measure.

But you get there .. an impression that. is static. It is only because consciousness is a kind of show, which must reflect environment, and environment must go on expressing itself, forever seeking, can we call it Essence. The importance of this cannot be overestimated. If you do not see that clearly, you get the conception of trying this, trying that, trying the other. You soon say: it never seems to learn, because "it" is static. Then your essence becomes a thing. But when you see Essence as the movement, and the movement which stores up the superseded being, but yet is impelled to go on, then you have Essence in truth and in fact.

On the one side limit makes the reality of a thing; on the other it is its negation. But, again, the limit, as the negation of something, is not an abstract nothing but a nothing which is-what we call an "other" . Given something, and up starts an other to us: we know that there is not something only, but an other as well. Nor, again, is the other of such a nature that we can think something apart from it; a something is implicitly the other of itself, and the somewhat sees its limit become objective to it in the other.
