It is similar to the dialectical principle of the identity of being andnobeing but there is the difference that in the laiter more stres%is laid jn the lust resort Nu the identity than on the difference between the opposed terms : the Aynthesis of position and negation is uncritically taken to be only posi?ive and the final spithesis riz. [...] This amounts on the one hand to the admission of the analytic necessity Itithin this ideal form as itself giren and ai somehow applicable to the indefinite matter of experience and on the other to the view that the synthetic material pi.ocess is a definite necessity inexplicably emerging out of the indefinite. [...] The useful knowledge about the keys which is not Yet positive objective knowledge has a content or object distinct alike from the absolutely indefinite and useless content of ignorance and from the definite object of the positive knowledge of the whereabouts of the keys : it is at once indefinite and definite and as such should have a logical expression. [...] the compatibility of B and of C with A : that the compatibility itself is partial or indefinite is not definite is pointed out by A is either not B or not C.' As the denial of what is believed to be a definite element in ' A is either B or C ' it is itself believed in and is not dumb ignorance : it has a useful content which yet is not postive not the same as the given affirmative nor somethi [...] and the logiical impulse may be takeil to be satisfied in the correction of the given error of determinateness not in the attainment of new determnations in getting rid of the limitation of the definite and not in securing increase of definiteness in the direction of the indefinite and not in that of the definite —freedom or We absolute state being reached either way.
