  besides the bare individuality which belongs to form; determinateness as universality absolutely
  reflected into itself; as presupposed; that is here still immediately assumed; genus。
  From this determinateness of the extremes which belongs to the progressive determination of the
  judgment; there results the precise content of the middle term; which is essentially the point of
  interest in the syllogism since it distinguishes syllogism from judgment。 It contains (1) individuality;
  but (2) individuality extended to universality as all; (3) universality which forms the basis and
  absolutely unites within itself individuality and abstract universality…that is; the genus。 It is in this
  way that the syllogism of reflection is the first to possess genuine determinateness of form; in
  that the middle term is posited as the totality of the terms; the immediate syllogism is by contrast
  indeterminate; because the middle term is still only abstract particularity in which the moments of
  its Notion are not yet posited。 This first syllogism of reflection may be called the syllogism of
  allness。
  (a) The Syllogism of Allness
  (b) The Syllogism of Induction
  (c) The Syllogism of Analogy
  C The Syllogism of Necessity
  The mediating element has now determined itself (1) as simple determinate universality; like the
  particularity in the syllogism of existence; but (2) as objective universality; that is to say;
  universality which contains the entire determinateness of the distinguished extremes like the allness
  of the syllogism of reflection; a fulfilled yet simple universality…the universal nature of the fact;
  the genus。
  This syllogism is pregnant with content; because the abstract middle term of the syllogism of
  existence posited itself as determinate difference to become the middle term of the syllogism of
  reflection; while this difference has reflected itself into simple identity again。 This syllogism is
  therefore the syllogism of necessity; for its middle term is not some alien immediate content; but
  the reflection…into…self of the determinateness of the extremes。
  These possess in the middle term their inner identity; the determinations of whose content are the
  form determinations of the extremes。 Consequently; that which differentiates the terms appears as
  an external and unessential form; and the terms themselves as moments of a necessary
  existence。
  In the first instance this syllogism is immediate; and thus formal in so far as the connection of the
  terms is the essential nature as content; and this content is present in the distinguished terms in
  only a diverse form; and the extremes by themselves are merely an unessential subsistence。 The
  realisation of this syllogism has so to determine it that the extremes also shall be posited as this
  totality which initially the middle term is; and that the necessity of the relation which is at first only
  the substantial content; shall be a relation of the posited form。
  (a) The Categorical Syllogism
  (b) The Hypothetical Syllogism
  (c) The Disjunctive Syllogism
  In this way then the formalism of the syllogistic process; and with it the subjectivity of the
  syllogism and of the Notion in general; has sublated itself。 This formal or subjective side consisted
  in the fact that the mediating factor of the extremes is the Notion as an abstract determination; and
  this latter is distinct from the extremes whose unity it is。 In the consummation of the syllogism; on
  the other hand; where objective universality is no les ' s posited as totality of the form
  determinations; the distinction of mediating and mediated has disappeared。 That which is mediated
  is itself an essential moment of what mediates it; and each moment appears as the totality of what
  is mediated。
  The figures of the syllogism exhibit each determinateness of the Notion individually as the middle
  term; which at the same time is the Notion as an ought…to…be; a demand that the mediating factor
  shall be the Notion's totality。 But the different genera of the syllogism exhibit the stages of
  impregnation or concretion of the middle term。 In the formal syllogism the middle term is only
  posited as totality by all the determinatenesses; though each singly; functioning as the mediating
  factor。 In the syllogisms of reflection the middle term appears as the unity that gathers together
  externally the determinations of the extremes。 In the syllogism of necessity it has likewise
  determined itself to the unity that is no less developed and total than simple; and the form of the
  syllogism which consisted in the difference of the middle term from its extremes has thereby
  sublated itself。
  Thus the Notion as such has been realised; more exactly; it has obtained a reality that is
  objectivity。 The first reality was that the Notion; as within itself negative unity; sunders itself; and
  as judgment posits its determinations in a determinate and indifferent difference; and in the
  syllogism sets itself in opposition to them。 In this way it is still the inwardness of this its externality;
  but the outcome of the course of the syllogisms is that this externality is equated with the inner
  unity; the various determinations return into this unity through the mediation in which at first they
  are united only in a third term; and thus the externality exhibits in its own self the Notion; which
  therefore is no longer distinguished from it as an inner unity。
  However; this determination of the Notion which has been considered as reality; is; conversely;
  equally a positedness。 For it is not only in this result that the truth of the Notion has exhibited itself
  as the identity of its inwardness and externality; already in the judgment the moments of the Notion
  remain; even in their mutual indifference; determinations that have their significance only in their
  relation。 The syllogism is mediation; the complete Notion in its positedness。 Its movement is the
  sublating of this mediation; in which nothing is in and for itself; but each term is only by means of
  an other。 The result is therefore an immediacy which has issued from the sublating of the
  mediation; a being which is no less identical with the mediation; and which is the Notion that has
  restored itself out of; and in; its otherness。 This being is therefore a fact that is in and for itself
  objectivity。

  THE DOCTRINE OF THE NOTION
  Section Two: Objectivity
  In Book One of the Objective Logic; abstract being was exhibited as passing over into
  determinate being; but equally as withdrawing into essence。 In Book Two; essence reveals itself
  as determining itself into ground; thereby entering into Existence and realising itself as substance;
  but again withdrawing into the Notion。 Of the Notion; now; we have shown to begin with that it
  determines itself into objectivity。 It is self…evident that this latter transition is identical in character
  with what formerly appeared in metaphysics as the inference from the notion; namely; the notion
  of God; to his existence; or as the so…called ontological proof of the existence of God。 It is
  equally well known that Descartes' sublimest thought; that God is that whose notion includes
  within itself its being; after being degraded into the defective form of the formal syllogism; that is;
  into the form of the said proof; finally succumbed to the Critique of Reason and to the thought
  that existence cannot be extracted from the notion。 Some points connected with this proof
  have already been elucidated。 In Vol。 1; pp。 86 sqq。; where being has vanished in its immediate
  opposite; non…being; and becoming has shown itself as the truth of both; attention was drawn to
  the confusion that arises when; in the case of a particular determinate being; what is fixed on is not
  the being of that determinate being but its determinate content; then; comparing this
  determinate content; for example a hundred dollars; with another determinate content; for
  example; with the context of my perception or the state of my finances; it is found that it makes a
  difference whether the former content is added to the latter or not…and it is imagined that what has
  been discussed is the difference between being and non…being; or even the difference between
  being and the Notion。 Further; in the same Vol。; p。 112 and Vol。 II; p。 442 we elucidated a
  determination that occurs in the ontological proof; that of a sum…total of all realities。 But the
  essential subject matter of that proof; the connection of the Notion and determinate being; is
  the concern of our consideration of the Notion just concluded; and the entire course through
  which the Notion determines itself into objectivity。 The Notion; as absolutely self…identical
  negativity; is self…determining; we have remarked that the Notion; in determining itself into
  judgment in individuality; is already positing itself as something real; something that is; this still
  abstract reality completes itself in objectivity。
  Now though it might seem that the transition from the Notion into objectivity is not the same thing
  as the transition from the Notion of God to his existence; it should be borne in mind on the one
  hand tha
