• But the subject itself also comes-into-being from natural substances. Human subjectivity and freedom thereby break the inhuman mask of Nature and fuse into one with the self-moving essence of Nature. Human subjectivity and freedom break the inhuman mask of Nature and fuse into one with the self-moving essence of Nature. In the "Doctrine of Concept," after Hegel transitions from "subjective concept" to "objectivity" through the "ontological proof," he steps into the analysis of objective nature's mode of being, firstly the analysis of "mechanism." Holism is the traditional view of extension and spatial substance coming from Descartes's and Spinoza's rationalist philosophies. Hegel sees a good opportunity in the theory of gravitation to elicit the principle of subjectivity from mechanism. Hegel deduces through universal gravitation that there is an immanent, subjective, ideal "soul" pulsating in the totality, which shares similarities with the hypothesis that Newton draws from universal gravitation that God is "the prime mover".
