It is readily conceded that the finite passes over into the infinite necessarily (that is, through its determination) and is thereby elevated to what is its in itself, for while the finite is indeed determined as subsistent existence, it is at the same time also a null in itself and therefore destined to self dissolution; whereas the infinite, although burdened with negation and limit, is equally also determined as the existent in itself, so that this abstraction of self referring affirmation is what constitutes its determination, and hence finite existence is not present in it.
