negation of the negation, n.All

The Negation of the negation (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠philosophy restoring theology after superseding it, and so contradicting itself.

The Negation of the negation (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a positing not yet sure of itself, still preoccupied with its opposite, doubting itself and therefore needing proof.

The Negation of the negation (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠no return to a healed identity: it is discovering that the very force blocking my identity is what gives me what consistency I have — without the Jew corroding it, the anti-Semite's social fabric would dissolve.

The Negation of the negation (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠no act of external reflection but the innermost, most objective moment of life and spirit, the moment by which a subject, a person, a free being exists.

The Negation of the negation (n.) makes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠two minuses a plus in logic, but to apply it to reality is close to madness, like a man inferring that his unfinished work completed itself because the perfect tense follows the imperfect.
