The general meaning of this syllogism is that the singular, which as such is infinite self reference and consequently would be only an inwardness, emerges through the medium of particularity into existence, into a universality wherein it no longer belongs just to itself but stands in external conjunction; conversely, since in its determinateness the singular sets itself apart as particularity, in this separation it is a concreted term and, because of the self reference of the determinateness, it is a self referring universal, and consequently also a true singular; in the extreme of universality the singular has gone from externality into itself.
