There is no becoming in Hegel


I'd have to read more (or get your clarification?) to understand what you mean; pp82-106* of a translation appear to cover a fair amount of Becoming to me?

* including subheads such as "Moments of Becoming" and "Sublation of Becoming".

(ok, reading pp106-108 suggests that although Becoming is not Nothing for Hegel, it is self-contradictory and hence a special kind of a non-being, a determinate being?)

EDIT: aufheben seems more transparent than "sublation"

> Das Werden ist das Verschwinden von Seyn in Nichts, und von Nichts in Seyn, ... Es widerspricht sich also in sich selbst, ... eine solche Vereinigung aber zerstört sich. Dieß Resultat ist das Verschwundenseyn, aber nicht als Nichts; ... Das Werden so Übergehen in die Einheit des Seyns und Nichts, ... ist das Daseyn.

(Becoming is the disappearance of Being in Nothing, and of Nothing in Being, ... It contradicts itself ... such a union destroys itself. This result is the disappearance, but not into Nothing ... Becoming, passing thus into the unity of Being and Nothing, ... is Existence.) ??

You should start with the Phenomenology of Spirit
