What History Teaches Us Is That Neither

The State Of Man's Mind, Or The Elementary Phase Of Mind Which He So Far Possesses, Conforms Precisely To The State Of The World As He So Far Views It

For Us, Mind Has Nature For Its Premise, Being Nature's Truth And For That Reason Its Absolute Prius. In This Truth Nature Has Vanished, And Mind Has Resulted As The Idea Arrived At Being-for-itself, The Object Of Which, As Well As The Subject, Is The Concept. This Identity Is Absolute Negativity, For Whereas In Nature The Concept Has Its Perfect External Objectivity, This Its Alienation Has Been Superseded, And In This Alienation The Concept Has Become Identical With Itself. But It Is This Identity Therefore, Only In Being A Return Out Of Nature.
