XV. Thought and Reality 162-183
Nature of Ideality, 162, 163. This visible in judgment through contrast of predicate with subject, 163-165. Truth what, 165; is based on Ideality of the Finite, 165-167.
Puzzle about the relation of thought to reality, 167. Thought is dualistic, and its subject and predicate are different, 168-170. And if thought succeeded in transcending dualism, it would perish as thought, 170-172. But why should it not do so? 173-175.
But can we maintain an Other to thought, 175, 176? Yes, if this Other is what thought itself desires and implies. And that is the case, 176-180. The relational form implies a completion beyond itself, 180-182. Our Absolute is no Thing-in-itself, 183.
XVI. Error 184-196
A good objection must be founded on something dis crepant, not merely something unexplained, 184-186. Problem of Error. It involves a dilemma, 186. Error is Appearance and false Appearance, 187, 188. It is rejected by Reality because it makes that discordant, 188-191. But it belongs to Reality somehow, 191. Error can be made truth by division and rearrangement, 192-194. And its positive discordance can be absorbed, 194-196. This possible solution must be real, 196.
XVII. Evil 197-204
Main difficulties made by an error, 197. Several senses of evil. Evil as pain, 198-200; as failure to realize End, 200, 201; and as immorality, 201-203. In no sense is it incompatible with the Absolute. And no diversity is lost there, 203, 204.
XVIII. Temporal and Spatial Apearance 205-222
Time and space are inexplicable, but not incompatible with our Absolute, 205. Question of origin irrelevant, and appeal to "fact of consciousness" idle, 206.
Time points to something beyond itself in several ways, 207-210. It is transcended, 210.
Unity of Time. There is none, 210-214. My "real" world—what, 212. Direction of Time. There is none, or rather there may be any number, 214-218. Sequence in Causation is but appearance, 218-220.
Space, whatever is its origin, transcends itself, 221, 222.
