摘要：In the “Logic of Being-there”, Chapter 2, Hegel discusses Finitude, beginning with a preamble wherein he advances the moments of the whole logical path. In a brief methodological recapitulation, he reaffirms that the first part of being-there (being there in general, quality and something) has a structure in which affirmative determination is dominant; whereas the second part of finitude (something and other, being-in-itself, being-for-other, determination, constitution and limit and something as finite) has a negative structure, that is, the negation of something is within itself, introducing the theme of otherness from the category of the other. What is the logical structure of something as finite? Something and other at the moment of limit show themselves as finite, since they both negate each other as the negation of negation. Then, the limit of something and other manifests itself as negation of negation, becoming contradictory and precarious. Hegel, in writing this dialectics of something and other, explains the objects in the world elaborating a new concept of substrate through the relationship between substrates and the idea of processuality, which dissolves the substrates and provides them with a new identity, substrates in movement of relationship and otherness. Whereas conventional thinking depicts the world as static substrates, dialectic thinking reveals the dimension of processuality in the world with meaning.
