Reflection and Negation

To the naked eye, the evaporation of something might seem to be a negation of it, but Chemistry has proven that, like other observable events, it is merely a seamless transition. Furthermore, in Practice, one is never actually "doing nothing", e. g. even in a lotus position contemplating Nothingness, one is doing something, nor is a change of activity a mere 'negation' of what one had been doing. In contrast, as Nagle's formulation "view from nowhere" suggests, Negation achieves a substantive status in Theoretical Reflection. But, Practical Reflection only effects a transition from one concrete condition to another. So, the concept of Negation as a self-sufficient process is peculiar to Idealism, and, hence, is inappropriate in Marxism.
