Right versus wrong - par 495 & 496 Encyclopedia

Robbert Veen's Hegel Podcast

495 The contract, as an agreement which has a voluntary origin and deals with a casual commodity,
involves at the same time the giving to this 'accidental' will a positive fixity. This will may just as well not be
conformable to law (right), and, in that case, produces a wrong: by which, however, the absolute law (right) is
not superseded, but only a relationship originated of right to wrong.

(c) RIGHT versus WRONG

496 Law (right) considered as the realization of liberty in externals, breaks up into a multiplicity of
relations to this external sphere and to other persons (¤¤ 491, 493 seqq.). In this way there are (1) several
titles or grounds at law, of which (seeing that property both on the personal and the real side is exclusively
individual) only one is the right, but which, because they face each other, each and all are invested with a
show of right, against which the former is defined as the intrinsically right.
