Each stage of spirit reduces to one dominant determination with others blurred

Evidence

In the development of spirit each stage progresses towards its reduced form, its single, dominant characteristic, its epitomization and logical sign. ‘Spirit has embodied in each shape … its entire content’. A posteriori, this form is revealed to be simply ‘incomplete spirit, a concrete shape in whose existence one determination (Einer Bestimmtheit) predominates, the others being present only in blurred outline (nur in verwischten Zügen vorhanden sind)’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1030
