positing, n.All

Positing (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Hegel's term, borrowed from Fichte, for a God who eternally makes the conditions of his own existence.

Positing (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠possible only because being was first cleared as presence: because beings lie there before us, our relation to them can become laying, placing, setting-before and positing.
