Dialectical ‘‘‘Determinate Negation’’’ and ‘Self-«Aufheben» Self-Negation’.

Dear Reader,

It is my pleasure, and my honor, as an officer of the Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.] Office of Public Liaison, to share with you, from time to time, as they are approved for public release by the F.E.D. General Council, key excerpts from the internal writings, and from the internal sayings, of our co-founder, Karl Seldon.

The first such release in this new series is entered below [Some E.D. standard edits have been applied, in the version presented below, to the direct transcript of our co-founder’s discourse].

For more information regarding, and for [further] instantiations of, these Seldonian insights, please see --

“The most ‘‘‘determinate’’’ form of [dialectical] “determinate negation”, ‘~’ [as operator-sign], is [self-«aufheben»] self-negation -- 

~[x]   =  x[x]

-- as the ‘‘‘outer’’’ consequence of the ‘‘‘inner’’’ fruition of an internally-developing ‘self-duality’ within x:

x¹  =  x  ----> xx   =  ~[x]   =  x[x]   =   x “of” x   =   x²   =   x + Delta[x],

such that ‘Delta[x]’ denotes the consecutive next ‘self-hybrid’, ‘supplementary qualitative opposite’ , ‘~’ [as relation-sign], to [e.g., ontological category] x --

Delta[x]  ~  x.”
