Sublated(describing what happens to the Cartesian mentalistic commitment in Hegel's system)
A technical term from Hegel meaning to preserve something while also canceling it out and raising it to a higher level—like how a tadpole becomes a frog (it's no longer a tadpole, but it keeps tadpole qualities).
Synthesis(Hegel's speculative moment)
A new concept that unifies two earlier, opposed concepts, arising as the positive result of their contradiction.
