He who posits things as eternal, sublates God.

These two principles must be united, and this can be accomplished only by positing the contraries (ego and non-ego), since they are both in the ego, as reciprocally limiting or partially sublating one another, that is, each as divisible (capable of quantitative determination).

Objectivity exists only to be more and more sublated, that is, to be so worked up that the activity of the ego may in it become evident.

It must not be annulled, but "sublated" (aufgehoben), i.e., at once negated and conserved.

As sublated moments they contradict each other no longer; the opposition or contradiction is overcome.

Being and not-being are so mediated and sublated in becoming that they are no longer contradictory.

Its fundamental truths are the Trinity (signifying that God differentiates and sublates the difference in love), the incarnation (as a figure of the essential unity of the infinite and finite spirit), the fall, and Christ's atoning death (this signifies that the realization of the unity between man and God presupposes the overcoming of naturality and selfishness).

According to Hegel the lower stage is "sublated" in the higher, i.e., conserved as well as negated.

The absolute is the universal unity of the world, which posits and sublates the individual as its modes.
