§ 92

Zeus; therefore; who is represented as having put a limit to the devouring agency of Time; and

staid this transience by having established something inherently and independently durable — Zeus

and his race are themselves swallowed up; and that by the very power that produced them — the

principle of thought; perception; reasoning; insight derived from rational grounds; and the

requirement of such grounds。

§ 93

Time is the negative element in the sensuous world。 Thought is the same negativity; but it is the

deepest; the infinite form of it; in which therefore all existence generally is dissolved; first finite

existence; — determinate; limited form: but existence generally; in its objective character; is

limited; it appears therefore as a mere datum — something immediate — authority; — and is either

intrinsically finite and limited; or presents itself as a limit for the thinking subject; and its infinite

reflection on itself 'unlimited abstraction'。

§ 94

But first we must observe how the life which proceeds from death; is itself; on the other hand; only

individual life; so that; regarding the species as the real and substantial in this vicissitude; the

perishing of the individual is a regress of the species into individuality。 The perpetuation of the race

is; therefore; none other than the monotonous repetition of the same kind of existence。 Further; we

must remark how perception; — the prehension of being by thought; — is the source and

birthplace of a new; and in fact higher form; in a principle which while it preserves; dignifies its

material。 For Thought is that Universal … that Species which is immortal; which preserves identity

with itself。 The particular form of Spirit not merely passes away in the world by natural causes in

Time; but is annulled in the automatic self…mirroring activity of consciousness。 Because this

annulling is an activity of Thought; it is at the same time conservative and elevating in its operation。

While then; on the one side; Spirit annuls the reality; the permanence of that which it is; it gains on

the other side; the essence; the Thought; the Universal element of that which it only was 'its

transient conditions'。 Its principle is no longer that immediate import and aim which it was

previously; but the essence of that import and aim。
