    Key Terms

    Absolute Idealism(The position under critique; associated with the claim that individual interests ultimately coincide at the level of Reality.)
    The metaphysical view that at the level of Reality all individual minds are united in, or participate in, a single larger mind-like whole.
    Coherently(as describing how these functions work together)
    In a way that is logically consistent and doesn't contradict itself.
    Governing framework(what Absolute Idealism claims to be)
    A fundamental system or set of rules that serves as the foundation for understanding or explaining how something works.
    Relative/absolute distinction(the key divide that the statement argues creates a logical problem)
    The difference between things that depend on something else (relative) and things that are independent and complete in themselves (absolute).

    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.
