Hegel, I suppose, would regard a point as
far more abstract that three dimensional space.
This is, according to my principles of terminology,
an abusive, or at any rate, an unadvisable
use of the word abstraction. But what Hegel
means is that it is nearest to experience
in its totality. In the case of space we pass
backward in this way. Here is a glass
object. Everything isn't glass. There
is besides air. No air is glass. There
is however something no part of which
is altogether glass and no part altogether
air. It is glass-air. This is the
surface between the glass and the air.
