ABSTRACT
The first postulate was the harmony of morality and objective nature-the final purpose of the world: the other was the harmony of morality and will in its sen suous form, in the form of impulse, etc.—the final purpose of self-consciousness as such. The former is the harmony in the form of implicit immanent exist ence ; the latter, the harmony in the form of explicit self-existence. That, however, which connects these two extreme final purposes which are thought, and operates as their mediating ground, is the process of concrete action itself. They are harmonies whose moments in their abstract distinctiveness from each other have not yet become definitely objective: this takes place in concrete actuality, in which the aspects

appear in consciousness proper, each as the other of the other. The postulates arising by this means con tain harmonies which are now completely realised and objective, whereas formerly they were merely separated into implicit and explicit, immanent and self-existent.
