·        Flewelling Ralph Carlin. Hegel: A nation which has no metaphysics is like a temple possessing no holy of holies: A Mosaic in the Main Reading Room of James Harmon Hoose Library of Philosophy (1929, Los Angeles, The University of Southern California, Mudd Hall of Philosophy).

·        Katsura. Three Levels of Being (Hegel) (1976, the artist’s property, currently on display at the Russian Philosophical Society headquarters, Moscow, Institute of Philosophy, The Russian Academy of Sciences))

o   Empty Being

* “Being, pure being, without any further determination” (Hegel, Science of Logic)

o   Otherness

** «Otherness thus appears as a determination alien to the determinate being thus characterised, or as the other outside the one determinate being; partly because a determinate being is determined as other only through being compared by a third, and partly because it is only determined as other on account of the other which is outside it, but is not an other on its own account. At the same time, as has been remarked, every determinate being, even for ordinary thinking, determines itself as an other, so that there is no determinate being which is determined only as such, which is not outside a determinate being and therefore is not itself an other» (Hegel, Science of Logic)

o   Being-for-self

*** “Being-for-self consists in having so transcended limitation, its otherness, that it is, as this negation, the infinite return into itself… Being-for-self is the polemical, negative attitude towards the limiting other, and through this negation of the latter is a reflectedness-into-self…” (Hegel, Science of Logic)
