A. General divisions. The Idea as nature is: 

I) In the determination of juxtaposition, of abstract singularisa- 
tion, outside which is the unity of form, this as merely an 
ideal being-in-self, matter and its ideal system. 

Mechanics. Universal nature. 

II) In the determination of particularity, so that reality is posited 
with immanent determinateness of form and the difference 
existing in it, a relation of reflexion the being-within-itself of 
which is natural individuality. 

III) Singular nature. The determination of subjectivity, in which 
the real distinctions of the form are likewise brought back to 
ideal unity, which is self-found and for itself — Organics. 

I. Mechanics 

A) Abstract Universal Mechanics 

a) Space. Immediate continuity; as external are: 

a) Ihe dimensions: height, length and breadth. 

B) Point, line and surface: on the one hand, a determinateness in 
regard to line and point; on the other hand, as restoration of 
the spatial totality: an enclosing surface which separates off an 
individual whole space. 

b) Time. Immediate discreteness: The seen becoming: present, future 
and past (Now, etc.) 

c) The immediate unity of space and time, in the determination of 
space. Place, in the determination of time— motion, their 
unity — matter. 

Plan of Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature 51] 

B) Particular Mechanics. Matter, Motion 
Repulsion — Attraction — Gravity 

1) Inert matter, mass, ... as content indifferent to the form of space and 
time. 
External motion — inert matter. 

2) Impact. Communication of motion—weight— velocity — external 
centre, rest, centripetence — pressure. 

3) Falling. Centrifugence. 

C) Absolute Mechanics or Narrower Mechanics. 
Gravitation. Motion as a System of Several Bodies. 
Universal Centre — Centreless Singularity. Particular Centres. 

Il. Physics 

a) Universality in physics. 
1) Universal bodies. Identity. 

a) Light(sun, stars). Darkness (smooth) (spatial relation— direct). 

B) Bodies of opposition. Darkness 
1) as corporeal diversity, rigidity, material being-for-tself. 

2) Opposition as such. Dissolution and neutrality of lunar 
and cometary bodies. 

Y) Bodies of individuality. Earth or planet in general. 

2) Particular bodies. Elements. 

1) Air, negative universality. 

2) Elements of opposition. Fire and water. 

3) Individual element, terrestriality, earth. 

3) Singularity. The elementary process. The meteorological process. 

1) Diremption of individual identity into the moments of 
independent opposition, into rigidity and into selfless 
neutrality. 

2) The consumption by spontaneous combustion of attempted 
differentiated existence. Thus the earth became a real and 
fruitful individuality. 

b) Physics of particular individuality. 

a) Specific gravity. Density of matter. Ratio of weight of mass to 
volume. | 

8) Cohesion, seen as a specific form of resistance in mechanical 
behaviour towards other masses. 

Adhesion — cohesion, etc. 
Elasticity. 
1) Sound. 
5) Heat. (Specific heat-capacity.) 
c) Physics of singular individuality. 
a) Form. 
a) Immediate form—the extreme of pointedness of brittleness, 
the extreme of coagulating fluidity. 
B) The brittle disclosed into difference of the notion. 
Magnetism. 
Y) Activity which has passed into its product, the crystal. 
b) Particular form. 
a) Relation to light. 
1) Transparency. 
2) Refraction. (Internal equalisation in the crystal.) 
3) Brittleness as darkening, metallity (colour). 
8) Relation to fire and water. Smell and taste. 
Y) Totality in particular individuality. Electricity. 
c) Chemical process. 
1) Combination. 
a) Galvanism. Metals, oxidation, deoxidation. 
B) The fire process. 
Y) Neutralisation. The water process. 
3) The process in its totality. Elective affinity. 
2) Separation.
