The absolute idea is the subject in its final form, thought. The otherness and negation is the object, being. The absolute idea now has to be interpreted as objective being. Hegel’s Logic thus ends where it began, with the category of being.

Thus comprehended, being is nature, and dialectical thought passes on to the Philosophy of Nature. P. 165-166
