Something and Other

Something and other continues the development begun by the sole something by first attending more closely to the newly developed category of other. Then, it is shown how its interconnectedness with something reveals the more fine-grained determinations of being-for-other and being-in-itself. Finally, being-for-other and being-in-itself prove to be moments of the same something that exists through them, making evident a new form of determination.

Hegel’s account of something and other has wide ranging consequences for wider philosophy, particularly Kant’s Transcendental Philosophy, since both philosophers appear to be at odds regarding the precise status of how something changes or how it can be known, metaphysically or epistemologically.
