Hegel holds pure being and pure nothingness to be the same

Evidence

‘Time’, Hegel states in this paragraph, is ‘the being which, in being, is not and in not-being, is’. A dialectical understanding of this phrase brings out its necessary ‘double meaning’. Normally, it can be understood in the first and primary way: time is and is not to the degree that its moments cancel each other out; the present is a ‘now’ which exists, but as it is something which passes, it will soon, almost immediately in fact, exist no longer; this is the present as an instant hanging between two non-existents, the past and the future. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 253 (#expands, via linked claim)
