Then they add a negation of conjunctive propositions; as, "It is not both this and that; but it is this; therefore it is not that."

I attain a knowledge of God's nature from my own by thinking away from the latter, in which, as in everything finite, being and non-being are intermingled, every limitation and negation, by raising to infinity my positive fundamental powers, posse, cognoscere, and velle, or potentia, sapientia, and amor, and by transferring them to him, who is pure affirmation, ens entirely without non-ens.

From these principles Fichte deduces the three laws of thought, identity, contradiction, and sufficient reason, and the three categories of qualityreality, negation, and limitation or determination.

Passivity is diminished activity, negation of the totality of reality.

In correspondence with Böhme's doctrine that God is living God only through his inclusion of negation in himself, it is here maintained: A being can manifest itself only when it is not merely one, but has another, an opposition (the many), in itself, whereby it is revealed to itself as unity.

God is the negation of opposites, the world the totality of them.

The former are reached through combination; the latter by negation, by thinking away the limitations of empirical cognition, by removing the limits from the concepts of the understanding.

Hegel felt deeply the sterility of this law of conceptual thought; he saw that in a fashion negation also relates things; and he had the brilliant idea of transcending the ordinary logic by treating advance from the different to the different as if it were also a necessity of thought.

Now Hegel found that his idea of an immanent movement through the field of concepts by way of 'dialectic' negation played most beautifully into the hands of this rationalistic demand for something absolute and inconcussum in the way of truth.

The mere absence of negation is not enough; it must be present, but present with its fangs drawn.

Double negation is the only form of affirmation that fully plays into the hands of the dogmatic ideal.

The main thing now is to grasp the generalized vision, and feel the authority of the abstract scheme of a statement self-secured by involving double negation.
