But from the viewpoint of Unification Thought it is wrong to include cognition in the category of activity. Cognition is made for obtaining joy, whereas activity is made for the dominion over all things. Also it is erroneous to say that self and non-self are contradictory to each other. If man had not fallen, man would have dominated all things by love. There could be neither struggle nor contradiction between man and all things, but only harmony between them.
Contradiction is the relationship of mutual negation between the two.
Thus, there can be no mutual negation. In light of Unification Thought, Hegel's dialectic is fundamentally erroneous. Also he regarded nature as the middle stage through which the Absolute Spirit returns to Himself, but this also is erroneous. Man's spirit is not ultimately to return to the Absolute Being, that is, God. In Hegel's dialectic, there are many other errors.
