These notes for the most part connect the several sections, rather than explain their statements. Their genuineness is vouched for by their being almost verbally the same as other parts of Hegel’s own writings.

In the second volume of the same book, the chapter headed "Phenomenon" (Erscheinung German: appearance or phenomenon) is divided differently from the method adopted in the Encyclopaedia, and begins with "Existence." These arrangements are followed in the
