In the case of the concept, however, it was shown that, when considered in connection with persistence, indestructibility, imperishableness, it is that which exists for itself, which is eternal, just because it is not abstract but concrete simplicity because it is not a determinateness that refers to itself abstractly but is the unity of itself and its other, and it cannot therefore pass over into this other as if it thereby altered in it; it cannot precisely because it is itself the other, the determinateness, and hence in this passing over it only comes to itself.
