For Hegel only what is limited and determined can be fully intelligible and shared.
Evidence
In another context, a synonymy between āform-determinationā and the Greek 9ĻĻ is explicitly attested in the Preface to the Phenomenology. In Hegelās thought, 9ĻĻ ā limit, frontier, stop ā signiļ¬es the singular and individuating break: the āfor oneselfā which establishes determinate meaning. Only what is limited is intelligible: āOnly what is completely determined is at once exoteric, comprehensible, and capable of being learned and appropriated by all.ā ā Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1046
