Excerpt: ... of reciprocal determination, then the opposites again involved in these first opposites must also be already indirectly united through that conception; or, in other words, the synthetical conception, which unites these new opposites, must already be involved in the higher conception of reciprocal determination. Hence, we must proceed with this conception precisely as we did with the conception of determination generally, that is, restrict its sphere to a smaller extent by an additional condition; whereby we shall obtain synthetical conceptions, involved under the higher conception of reciprocal determination. The first opposite discovered in our proposition was this: The Non-Ego is to determine the Ego; that is, to cancel reality in the Ego. This it can only on the condition that it has in itself the same part of reality to be canceled in the Ego. Result: The Non-Ego has in itself reality. But all reality is posited in the Ego; and the nonEgo is opposed to the Ego, and hence has only negation. All Non-Ego is negation, and it, therefore, has no reality at all in itself Both results cancel each other; but they are involved in the result: the Non-Ego determines the Ego. Hence, that result cancels itself. But it can not cancel itself without destroying the unity of consciousness. Hence, it can not cancel itself; and the opposites must be unitable. Our conception of reciprocal determination did · "' not unite them; for by it we only obtained this re. suit: //"the absolute totality of reality is posited a divisible, then we can certainly take parts from the Ego, and must, under that condition, posit these parts in its opposite, the Non-Ejo. But the question, How can we posit the reality of thc Ego as divisible and abstract parts from it? or, What justifies and compels us to establis...
