In the shortest chapter of the SL,¹ we learn that Chemism's "immediate course is simple and is completely determined by presupposition." (727) Figure 67(c) portrays this. There, the Chemical Object strives toward an other object (which is to be viewed as the notional Subject). This other is completely presupposed by the Chemical Object (though, for us, the notional Subject is derived and therefore objective). Hegel admits the name "chemism" is unfortunate. It is not to be taken as referring only to chemistry. It also governs sex, love, friendship and the weather.
