"Being is the notion implicit only: its special forms have the
predicate 'is'; when they are distinguished they are each of them
an 'other': and the shape which dialectic takes in them, i.e.
their further specialisation, is at once a forth-putting and in
that way a disengaging of the notion implicit in being; and at
the same time the withdrawing of being inwards, its sinking
deeper into itself."
