ABSTRACT
In the attribute the absolute shows only in one of its moments, a moment presupposed and picked up by external reflection. The sides of the absolute relation are therefore not attributes. Absolute necessity is absolute relation because it is not being as such, but being that is because it is, being as absolute self-mediation. This movement of accidentality is the actuosity of substance as a tranquil coming forth of itself. The other determination, the flux of accidents, is the absolute form-unity of accidentality, substance as absolute power. The self-identity of cause in its effect is the sublating of its power and negativity, and is therefore the unity which is indifferent to the differences of form, that is, content. This external content is therefore devoid of any relationship, an immediate existence; or because it is, as content, the implicit identity of cause and effect, it too is an immediate, simply affirmative identity. Causality is a presupposing act.
