Immediate existence turns into thought, or merely sense-consciousness turns round into consciousness of thought; and, moreover, because that thought has come from immediacy or is conditioned thought, it is not pure knowledge, but thought which contains otherness, and is, thus, the self-opposed thought of good and evil. Man is pictorially represented by the religious mind in this way:
Horizate bitartegabekoa pentsamendu izatera igarotzen da, edo sentipenezkoa baino ez den kontzientzia pentsamenduaren kontzientzia izatera, eta, gainera, hori, jatorria bitartegabekotasunean duen edo baldintzatua den pentsamendua delako, ez da jakite hutsa, baizik eta beste izatea bere baitan duen pentsamendua, eta, beraz, bere buruari aurkakotzen zaion ongiaren eta gaitzaren pentsamendua.
