exactly. jim devine --- In fact in Hegel the "dialectical thinking" isn't merely a process taking place in the human mind, but simultaneously taking place in the structure of reality and the process of self-knowing of Absolute Mind (which is the same thing), so that the act of cognizing that the concept of Being passes into that of Nothingness and then into that of Becoming reflects a change from one metaphysical "reality" to another. Assuming my interpretation of Hegel is correct... there are so damn many of them... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
