was　expanded　to　the　general　in　them　as　essential　elements；　and　through　his　opposition　to　the
  previously　used　method；　which　was　even　more　fixed　on　asthenic　and　asthenising　questions　than　the
  subsequent　phases；　he　showed　that　the　organism　does　not　react　to　the　most　antithetical　kind　of
  treatment　in　such　an　opposite　way；　but　that　frequently；　at　least　in　the　final　results；　it　reacts　in　a
  similar　and　hence　general　way。　Thus　the　simple　identity　of　the　organism　with　itself　as　its　true
  essence　is　demonstrated　in　opposition　to　a　particular　entanglement　of　one　of　its　systems　with
  specific　irritants。
  §　296。
  The　animal　individual；　in　overcoming　and　moving　beyond　particular　inadequacies　in　conflict　with　its
  concept；　does　not　suspend　the　inadequacy　in　general　which　it　has　within　it；　namely；　that　its　idea　is
  the　immediate　idea；　or　that　the　animal　stands　within　nature。　Its　subjectivity　is　only　the　concept　in
  itself　but　not　itself　for　itself　and　exists　only　as　an　immediate　individuality。　That　inner　generality　is
  thus　opposed　to　its　actuality　as　a　negative　power；　from　which　the　animal　suffers　violence　and
  perishes；　because　its　existence　does　not　itself　contain　this　generality　within　itself。
  §　297。
  As　abstract；　this　negative　generality　is　an　external　actuality　which　exerts　mechanical　violence
  against　the　animal　and　destroys　it。　As　its　own　concrete　generality　it　is　the　genus；　and　the　living
  organism　submerges　its　different　individuality　partly　in　the　process　of　genus　formation。　Partly；
  however；　the　living　organism　directly　suspends　its　inadequacy　in　relation　to　the　genus；　which　is　its
  original　sickness　and　the　inborn　seed　of　death；　since　it　imagines　the　individuality　of　its　death。　But
  because　this　generality　is　immediate；　the　individual　achieves　only　an　abstract　objectivity；　it　blunts　its
  activity；　grows　ossified；　and　thus　kills　itself　by　itself。
  §　298。
  But　the　subjectivity　of　the　living　organism　is　just　as　essentially　in　itself　identical　to　concrete
  generality　and　the　genus。　Its　identity　with　the　genus　is　thus　only　the　suspension　of　the　formal
  antithesis；　of　immediacy；　and　of　the　generality　of　individuality。　Since　this　subjectivity　is；　moreover；
  the　concept　in　the　idea　of　life；　it　is　in　itself　the　absolute　being　in　itself　of　reality。　Through　this
  suspension　of　its　immediacy　subjectivity　coalesces　itself　absolutely　with　itself　and　the　last
  self…externality　of　nature　is　suspended。　In　this　way　nature　has　passed　over　into　its　truth；　into　the
  subjectivity　of　the　concept；　whose　objectivity　is　itself　the　suspended　immediacy　of　individuality；　the
  concrete　generality；　the　concept　which　has　the　concept　as　its　existence　—　into　the　spirit。
