Oh you Heideggerians are incorrigible. Nothing is nothing because it has no determinations and thus no content. The same of course can also be said of Being. Only later, when each concept has a content, can they truly be distinguished. Here in the first stage of immediacy we distinguish them prospectively simply because they *ought* to be distinguished.

I hope that's clear. Yours truly,

GWF Hegel
