A living being is a syllogism; of which the very elements are in themselves
systems and syllogisms (§ § 198; 201; 207)。 They are however active syllogisms
or processes; and in the subjective unity of the vital agent make only one process。
'Thus the living being is the process of its coalescence with itself; which runs on
through three processes。 



                              Organic Nature
                  Sensibility; Irritability; and Reproduction
                                  § 218

(1) The first is the process of the living being inside itself。 In that process it makes
a split on its own self; and reduces its corporeity to its object or its inorganic
nature。 This corporeity; as an aggregate of correlations; enters in its very nature
into difference and opposition of its elements; which mutually become each
other's prey; and assimilate one another; and are retained by producing
themselves。 Yet this action of the several members (organs) is only the living
subject's one act to which their productions revert; so that in these productions
nothing is produced except the subject: in other words; the subject only
reproduces itself。

The process of the vital subject within its own limits has in Nature the threefold form of Sensibility;
Irritability; and Reproduction。 As Sensibility; the living being is immediately simple self…relation…it is
the soul omnipresent in its body; the outsideness of each member of which to others has for it no
truth。 As Irritability; the living being appears split up in itself; and as Reproduction; it is perpetually
restoring itself from the inner distinction of its members and organs。 A vital agent only exists as this
continually self…renewing process within its own limits。 



                             Objective Nature
                       The matter which it assimilates
                                  § 219

(2) But the judgement of the notion proceeds; as free; to discharge the objective
or bodily nature as an independent totality from itself; and the negative relation of
the living thing to itself makes; as immediate individuality; the presupposition of
an inorganic nature confronting it。 As this negative of the animate is no less a
function in the notion of the animate itself; it exists consequently in the latter
(which is at the same time a concrete universal) in the shape of a defect or want。
The dialectic by which the object; being implicitly null; is merged is the action of
the self…assured living thing; which in this process against an inorganic nature thus
retains; develops; and objectifies itself。 

                                  § 219n

The living being stands face to face with an inorganic nature; to which it comports itself as a master
and which it assimilates to itself。 The result of the assimilation is not; as in the chemical process; a
neutral product in which the independence of the two confronting sides is merged; but the living
being shows itself as large enough to embrace its other which cannot withstand its power。 The
inorganic nature which is subdued by the vital agent suffers this fate; because it is virtually the
same as what life is actually。 Thus in the other the living being only coalesces with itself。 But when
the soul has fled from the body; the elementary powers of objectivity begin their play。 These
powers are; as it were; continually on the spring; ready to begin their process in the organic body;
and life is the constant battle against them。

                           The living individual
                                  § 220

(3) The living individual; which in its first process comports itself as intrinsically
subject and notion; through its second assimilates its external objectivity and thus
puts the character of reality into itself。 It is now therefore implicitly a Kind; with
essential universality of nature。 The particularising of this Kind is the relation of
the living subject to another subject of its Kind: and the judgement is the tie of
Kind over these individuals thus appointed for each other。 This is the Affinity of
the Sexes。 



                          Birth; Death and Genus
                                   § 221

The process of Kind brings it to a being of its own。 Life being no more than the
idea immediate; the product of this process breaks up into two sides。 On the one
hand; the living individual; which was at first presupposed as immediate; is now
seen to be mediated and generated。 On the other; however; the living
individuality; which; on account of its first immediacy; stands in a negative
attitude towards universality; sinks in the superior power of the latter。 

                                  § 221n

The living being dies; because it is a contradiction。 Implicitly it is the universal or Kind; and yet
immediately it exists as an individual only。 Death shows the Kind to be the power that rules the
immediate individual。 For the animal the process of Kind is the highest point of its vitality。 But the
animal never gets so far in its Kind as to have a being of its own; it succumbs to the power of
Kind。 In the process of Kind the immediate living being mediates itself with itself; and thus rises
above its immediacy; only however to sink back into it again。 Life thus runs away; in the first
instance; only into the false infinity of the progress ad infinitum。 The real result; however; of the
process of life; in the point of its notion; is to merge and overcome that immediacy with which the
idea; in the shape of life; is still beset。 



                                  § 222

In this manner however the idea of life has thrown off not some one particular
and immediate 'This'; but this first immediacy as a whole。 It thus comes to itself;
to its truth: it enters upon existence as a free Kind self…subsistent。 The death of
merely immediate and individual vitality is the 'procession' of spirit。 



                      (b) Cognition in general
                                   §223

The idea exists free for itself; in so far as it has universality for the medium of its
existence … as objectivity itself has notional being … as the idea is its own object。
Its subjectivity; thus universalised; is pure self…contained distinguishing of the
idea…intuition which keeps itself in this identical universality。 But; as specific
distinguishing; it is the further judgement of repelling itself as a totality from itself;
and thus; in the first place; presupposing itself as an external universe。 There are
two judgements; which though implicitly identical are not yet explicitly put as
identical。 



                                  § 224

The relation of these two ideas; which implicitly and as life are identical; is thus
one of correlation: and it is that correlativity which constitutes the characteristic of
finitude in this sphere。 It is the relationship of reflection; seeing that the
distinguishing of the idea in its own self is only the first judgement … presupposing
the other and not yet supposing itself to constitute it。 And thus for the subjective
idea the objective is the immediate world found read
