![]() ![]() The essential reality of that which has being-for-itself ( Fürsichsein) is self-existence. Hegel declares that the essential reality of that which has being-for-itself is not in an "other." The "other" is not essential to that which has being-for-itself. The Absolute results from a process of becoming and developing itself. Knowledge reaches its goal when it arrives at the Absolute and when it no longer has to search beyond itself, because in the Absolute it finds itself.Īccording to Hegel, the Absolute is Spirit, and Spirit is Reality. Reality is the conceptual totality of absolute mind and spirit. For Hegel, reality is rational and logical. ![]() Hegel maintains that knowledge is not separated from, or external to, absolute reality, but that knowledge is itself reality, and that reality is mental and spiritual.
