Combined with the initial fragment, `nothing` is not to be understood as the absence or lack of something specific, as, for example, "there is nothing in my bank account". Rather, `nothing` _is_ complete emptiness, complete absence of any specificity, matter or existence. Internally, there is nothing to pick out since no distinction can be made.
Combined with the initial fragment, `nothing` is not to be understood as the absence or lack of something specific, as, for example, "there is nothing in my bank account". Rather, `nothing` _is_ complete emptiness, complete absence of any specificity, matter or existence. Indeed, one can say it is the absence of being. Internally, there is nothing to pick out since no distinction can be made.

Attempting to grasp it by other means, such as void, will be inadequate since void has a richer and more determinate meaning, such as "this cheque is void". Void specifically points to a determinate existent which is void. This is developed later in Hegel's _Logic_.
