What [[Hegel]] called the "Night of the [[World]]," the abyss of radical negativity.
What Hegel called the "Night of the World," the abyss of radical negativity.
<blockquote>
Does this not bring us back to the famous passage from the beginning of Hegel's ''Jenaer Realphilosophie'' [[about]] the "[[night of the world]]"?
The [[human]] [[being]] is this night, this empty [[nothing]], that contains everything in its simplicity - an unending wealth of many representations, [[images]], of which none belongs to him - or which are not [[present]]. This night, the interior of [[nature]], that [[exists]] here - pure [[self]] - in phantasmagorical representations, is night all around it, in which here shoots a bloody head - there [[another]] white ghastly apparition, suddenly here before it, and just so [[disappears]]. One catches [[sight]] of this night when one looks human beings in the eye - into a night that becomes awful.<ref>[[G.W.F. Hegel]], "Jenaer Realphilosophie," in ''Fruehe politische Systeme'', Frankfurt: Ullstein 1974, p. 204. Quoted in [[The Stellar Parallax: The Traps of Ontological Difference]].</ref></blockquote>
