For Hegel, Heraclitus's great achievements were to have understood the nature of the infinite, which for Hegel includes understanding the inherent contradictoriness and negativity of reality; and to have grasped that reality is becoming or process and that "being" and "nothingness" are mere empty abstractions.
Para Hegel, os grandes logros de Heráclito foron comprender a natureza do infinito, que para Hegel inclúe comprender a contradición e negatividade inherentes da realidade, e comprender que a realidade é devir ou proceso, e que o «ser» e a «nada» son mera abstracción baleira.
