+## Inline Comments
+
+The en dash (–) at the start of a sentence (and _not_ within one) is often
+used by Hegel to insert a quick comment. It serves to swiftly elaborate on a
+logical passage and provide additional guidance. Importantly, in these
+mini-commentaries, Hegel steps out of the logical development to reflect upon
+it. Often, immediately after the en dash Hegel begins to speak about extraneous
+matter to the logical development or uses less precise language, such as in the
+development of [`being`](/articles/hegel/reference/being/development).

+Here "intuiting" and "speaking of" do not seem appropriate for the purely
+logical development. If it is correct that the en dash signals the start of a
+brief commentary here, then it makes sense why Hegel begins to employ intuition
+and vague language like "speaking of", since he is now reflecting upon the
+matter at hand as it has been developed thus far and attempts to help his
+readers to understand an otherwise extremely abstract idea.
+
+If the en dash does not signal the start of a comment and the logical

+
+This passage is tricky since since it appears that Hegel looks ahead from the
+current situation. In _our_ reflection—as concrete thinkers with more
+concepts available to us than the logic at hand—is it noted that the
+whole, or the unity, of `being` and `non-being` must equally be a _determined
+being_, no less than its constituent moments. Though this is not evident in the

+Hegel ends this section by stating that `existence` corresponds to `being` but
+that while the latter was indeterminate, the former is, by contrast,
+determinate. Two more key things to note in this passage is the meaning of
+"determinations transpiring" in a category and the idea that _several_
+determinations and distinctions _immediately_ emerge. From the latter,
+`existence` is regarded as something immediately complex, as was already
+understood from the preceding despite its simplicity. But exactly
+this—which relates to the former matter about "transpiring"—reveals
+the glimmers, as it were, of a movement amidst this static determinacy.

 ## Overview of Existence
 
+Existence is a central term in the history of philosophy, holding a prominent
+status. Entire schools of thought derive their names from it. In Hegel's
+_Science of Logic_ we find, however, that existence comes to play a more modest
+role, but nonetheless a very important one. In the Doctrine of Being, existence
+is conceptualized as what is determined. It is, in other words, the exponent of
+determinacy. Determinacy is a key matter as to how Hegel thinks not only about
+the presuppositionless development of the categories but also how to approach
+metaphysics and philosophy as a whole, and in this regard existence does not
+merely open the door but is the entire gateway.

 `Existence`, or `determinate being`, is the first category in Hegel's _Science
 of Logic_ that is explicitly determinate. It is the most minimally determinate
 category and shows what it means for something _to be_ determinate. It entails a
