I remember reading Kant and he did use the basic thesis-antithesis-synthesis in the Critique of Pure Reason. Hegel picked up that theme and made it the fundamental scheme of his ontology. The official accounts of Hegel by scholars are one thing, but remember reading Hegel is another thing. The Science of Logic is a book of extreme obscurity and subject to interpretation of wide degrees. I spent two long years on it, about 2 hours every day. Hegel basically starts out with fairly simple opposites, but he advances in a series of brutally obfuscating steps to the increasingly mind-dependent, and he does certainly venture into the middle ground. His "illusory being" is a mind-dependent "nullity" -- he is basically saying as far as I can determine that we may hold some determinate value for something, but we also hold its other, opposite, and also all values that it COULD be. Remember, again, that it is more or less impossible to give a definite account of what the f he really meant... Mike A
