which　it　meets　with　at　every　point；　really　consists；　as　the　above　makes　clear；　in　this；　that　it　does　not
bring　together　its　ideas　regarding　the　objectified　intent。　Its　own　affair　（seine　Sache）；　no　work　at　all；
or　mere　action　and　bare　purpose；　or　again　a　reality　involving　no　action　at　all　—　all　and　every　one　of
these　are　equally　the　real　intent：　it　makes　one　meaning　after　another　the　subject　of　this　predicate；
and　forgets　one　after　the　other。　By　its　having　merely　willed　or；　again；　in　not　having　cared；　the　real
intent　has　now　the　meaning　of　empty　purpose；　and　of　the　merely　ideal　thought…unity　of　willing　and
performance。　The　consolation　for　the　annihilation　of　the　purpose　which　was　at　all　events　willed　or
at　all　events　simply　done；　as　well　as　the　satisfaction　of　having　given　others　something　to　do；　makes
simple　doing；　or　entirely　bad　work；　the　essential　reality；　for　that　must　be　called　a　bad　work　which
is　no　work　at　all。　Finally；　in　the　case　of　finding　through　good　luck　the　reality　at　hand；　this　existence
without　any　act　becomes　the　real　intent。

The　true　meaning　of　this　〃Honesty〃；　however；　lies　in　not　being　so　honest　as　it　seems。　For　it　cannot
be　so　unintelligent　as　to　let　these　various　moments　fall　apart　in　that　way；　it　must　have　an　immediate
consciousness　regarding　their　opposition；　because　they　are　absolutely　related　to　one　another。　Bare
action　is　essentially　action　of　this　individual；　and　this　action　is　likewise　essentially　an　actuality　or　a
〃fact〃。　Conversely；　actuality　essentially　is　only　as　his　own　action；　and　as　action　in　general　as　well；
and　just　as　his　own　action　is　action　in　general；　so　it　is　only　reality　in　general。　While；　then；　he　thinks
he　has　only　to　do　with　the　objectified　intent　as　abstract　reality；　there　is　also　present　this　idea　that　he
has　to　do　with　it　as　his　own　doing。　But　precisely　so　far　as　it　is　only　a　matter　of　being　busy　about
doing　something；　he　is　not　really　in　earnest　in　the　matter；　but　rather　is　dealing　with　a　〃fact〃；　and　with
fact　as　his　own。　Since；　finally；　he　seems　to　will　merely　his　own　〃fact〃　and　his　own　action；　it　is　again
a　matter　of　dealing　with　〃fact〃　in　general　or　actuality　substantial　and　abiding　（an　und　für　sich
bleibende）。

Just　as　the　real　intent　and　its　moments　appear　at　this　stage　as　content；　they　are　likewise　necessary
also　as　forms　in　consciousness。　They　come　forward　as　content　merely　to　pass　away　again；　each
making　room　for　the　other。　They　have　therefore　to　be　present　in　the　character　of　cancelled　and
sublated　forms：　so　taken；　however；　they　are　aspects　of　consciousness　itself。　The　real　intent　is
present　as　the　inherent　nature　or　reflexion　of　consciousness　into　self；　the　ousting　of　the　moments　by
each　other　there　finds　expression；　however；　in　their　being　established　in　consciousness；　not　per　se；
but　only　for　another　consciousness。　One　of　the　moments　of　the　content　is　exposed　by　it　to　the
light；　and　presented　as　an　object　for　others。　Consciousness；　however；　is　at　the　same　time　reflected
therefrom　back　upon　itself；　and　the　opposite　is　thus　equally　present　within　it；　is　retained　for　itself　as
its　own。　There　is；　too；　not　one　of　them　which　could　be　merely　and　solely　put　outside；　and　another
merely　retained　within；　rather；　consciousness　operates　alternately　with　them；　for　it　has　to　make
one　as　well　as　another　essential　for　itself　and　for　others。　The　whole　is　the　moving　process　of
permeating　individuality　with　the　universal。　In　that　this　consciousness　finds　this　whole；　however；　to
be　merely　the　simple　ultimate　nature　（Wesen）　and　thus　the　abstraction　of　the　real　intent；　the
moments　of　this　whole　appear　as　distinct　outside　that　object　and　outside　one　another。　As　a　single
whole　it　is　only　exhaustively　exhibited　by　the　process　of　alternately　exposing　its　elements　to　view
and　keeping　them　within　itself。　Since　in　this　alternation　consciousness　has　in　its　process　of　reflexion
one　moment　for　itself　and　keeps　it　as　essential；　while　another　is　merely　externally　implied　or　is　for
others；　there　thus　enters　a　play　of　individualities　with　one　another；　where　they　both　deceive　and
find　deceived　themselves　and　one　another　reciprocally。

An　individuality；　then；　sets　to　work　to　carry　out　something；　by　so　doing　it　seems　to　have　made
something　into　an　〃actual　fact〃。　It　acts；　by　so　doing　it　comes　out　before　others；　and　seems　to　be
concerned　to　secure　the　reality　of　something。　Others；　therefore；　take　its　action　to　be　an　interest　in
the　〃fact〃　as　such；　and　take　the　end　of　the　act　to　be　the　carrying　out　of　the　〃fact〃　per　se；　regardless
of　whether　this　is　done　by　the　former　individuality　or　by　them。　When　on　this　account　they　point　out
that　this　〃fact〃　has　been　already　brought　about　by　themselves；　or；　if　not；　offer　and　actually　furnish
their　assistance；　then　they　see　that　consciousness　has　rather　left　the　position　where　they　think　it　to
be；　it　is　its　own　action　and　effort；　which　arouses　its　interest　in　the　〃fact〃；　and　when　they　come　to
know　that　this　was　the　real　intent；　the　fact　of　the　matter；　they　feel　themselves　deceived。　In　reality；
however；　their　haste　to　render　assistance　was　itself　nothing　else　than　their　desire　to　see　and
manifest　their　own　action　and　not　the　objectified　intent；　i。e。　they　wanted　to　deceive　the　other
individual　just　in　the　way　they　complain　of　having　been　deceived。　Since　there　has　now　been
brought　to　light　that　its　own　action　and　effort；　the　play　of　its　powers；　is　taken　for　the　real　intent；
consciousness　seems　to　be　occupied　in　its　own　way　on　its　own　account　and　not　on　that　of　others；
and　only　to　be　troubled　about　action　qua　its　own　action；　and　not　about　action　qua　an　action　of
others；　and　hence　seems　to　let　the　others　in　their　turn　keep　to　their　own　〃fact〃　But　they　go　wrong
again；　that　consciousness　has　already　left　the　point　where　they　thought　it　was。　It　is　not　concerned
with　the　matter　in　hand　as　〃fact〃　in　the　sense　of　this　its　own　particular　fact；　but　as　fact　qua　fact；
qua　something　universal；　which　is　for　all。　Hence　it　interferes　in　the　action　and　work　of　others；　and
if　consciousness　can　no　longer　take　their　work　out　of　their　hands；　it　is　at　least　interested　in　the
matter；　and　shows　this　by　its　concern　to　pass　judgment。　When　it　stamps　the　result　with　the　mark　of
its　approval　and　praise；　this　is　meant　to　imply　that　in　the　work　it　does　not　merely　praise　the　work
itself；　but　at　the　same　time　its　own　generosity　and　moderation　in　not　having　destroyed　the　work　as
work　nor　spoiled　it　by　finding　fault。　Since　it　shows　an　interest　in　the　work；　it　enjoys　its　own　self
therein；　and　in　the　same　way　the　work　which　it　found　fault　with　is　welcomed　for　just　this　enjoyment
of　its　own　action　which　is　thereby　procured。　Those；　however；　who　regard　themselves　as；　or
profess　to　be；　deceived　by　this　interference　from　others　wanted　really　themselves　to　deceive　in　the
same　way。　They　give　out　their　efforts　and　doings　as　something　only　for　themselves；　in　which　they
merely　have　themselves　and　their　own　nature　in　view。　But　since　they　do　something；　and　thus
express　their　nature；　bring　themselves　to　the　light　of　day；　they　directly　contradict　by　their　deed　the
pretence　of　wanting　to　exclude　the　daylight；　i。e。　to　exclude　the　publicity　of　universal　consciousness；
and　participation　by　every　one。　Actualization　is；　on　the　contrary；　an　exposing　of　what　is　one's　own
in　a　universal　element；　where　it　comes　to　be　and　has　to　be　〃fact〃　for　every　one。

There　is；　then；　as　much　deception　of　itself　as　of　others；　if　it　is　pretended　that　the　〃bare　fact〃　is　one's
sole　concern。　A　consciousness　that　lays　open　a　〃fact〃　soon　learns　that　others　hurry　to　the　spot　and
want　to　make　themselves　busy　there；　like　flies　to　milk　newly　put　out；　and　they　in　their　turn　find　out
in　its　case　that　it　is　not　dealing　with　〃fact〃　qua　object；　but　with　fact　as　〃its　own〃。　On　the　other　hand；
if　only　action　itself；　the　use　of　powers　and　capacities；　or　the　expression　of　a　given　individuality；　is
to　be　the　essential　thing；　they　reciprocally　learn　that　all　are　on　the　alert　and　consider　themselves
invited　to　deal　with　the　matter；　and　that　instead　of　a　mere　abstract　action；　or　a　single　peculiar
action；　something　has　been　elicited　and　exposed　which　was　equally　well　for　others　or　is　a　real
intent。　In　both　cases　the　same　thing　happens；　and　only　appears　to　have　a　different　significance　by
contrast　with　that　which　was　accepted　and　assumed　to　hold　on　the　matter。　Consciousness　finds
both　sides　to　be　equally　essential　moments；　and　thereby　learns　what　the　nature　of　the　〃fact　of　the
matter〃；　the　real　intent；　is；　viz。　that　it　is　neither　merely　〃fact〃；　which　is　opposed　to　action　in　general
and　to　individual　action；　nor　action　which　is　opposed　to　permanence　and　is　the　genus　independent
of　these　moments　as　its　species。　Rather　it　is　an　essential　reality　whose　existence　means　the　action
of　the　single　individual　and　of　all　individuals；　and　whose　action　is　immediately　for　others；　or　is　a
〃fact〃；　and　is　only　〃fact〃　in　the　sense　of　an　action　of　each　and　all　—　the　essential　reality　which　is　the
essence　of　all　beings　（We…sen）；　which　is　spiritual　essence。　Consciousness　learns　that　no　one　of
these　moments　is　subject；　but　rather　gets　dissolved　in　the　universal　objectified　intent。　The　moments
of　individuality；　which　were　taken　as　subject　one　after　another　by　this　unreflective　incoherent　stage
of　consciousness；　coalesce　and　concentrate　into　simple　individuality；　which　qua　this；　is　no　less
immediately　universal。　The　real　intent　thereby　ceases　to　stand　in　the　relation　of　a　predicate；　loses
the　characteristic　of　lifeless　abstract　universality：　it　is　substance　permeated　by　individuality：　it　is
subject；　wherein　is　individuality　just　as　much　qua　individual；　or　qua　this；　as　qua　all　individuals：　and
it　is　the　universal；　which　has　an　existence　only　as　being　this　action　of　each　and　all；　and　gets　an
actual　reality　in　that　this　consciousness　knows　it　to　be　its　own　individual　reality；　and　the　reality　of
all。　Pure　objectified　intent　is　what　was　characterized　above　as　the　〃category〃　—　being　which　is　the
ego；　or　ego　which　is　being；　but　in　the　sense　of　thought；　which　is　still　distinguished　from　actual
self…consciousness。　Here；　however；　the　moments　of　actual　self…consciousness　—　both　so　far　as　we
call　them　its　content　（
