So Hegel says “Becoming is an unstable unrest which settles into a stable result” and “it is the unity of being and nothing which has settled into a stable oneness.”
My question is how do we get from Becoming to this oneness? Why doesn’t Becoming simply keep alternating between coming-to-be and ceasing-to-be forever?
Is it that, because Being and Nothing have vanished into each other, they are no longer distinguished, hence the “vanishing of the vanishing?”
Or maybe this stable oneness is the equilibrium between coming-to-be and ceasing-to-be, as in they “cancel” each other out and leave the whole with no net “motion?” If this is the case, would it be right to say that the coming-to-be and ceasing-to-be never actually stop, it just seems like they’ve stopped (from the POV of determinate being) because they’re in equilibrium?
