pure being

is a (hypothetical) stuff whose only property is that it exist. Such a thing/stuff would be indistinguishable from (pure) nothing, hence being and nothing are identical (and also not identical).

A (hypothetical) stuff whose only property is that it exist. Hegel argues that such a thing/stuff would be indistinguishable from (pure) nothing, hence being and nothing are identical (and also not identical). Thus pure being by itself is not possible, but only a unity of being and non-being, i.e., becoming, which expresses the instability of pure being or pure non-being.
