+## The Development of Existence
+
+### Textual Note
+
+The German _Dasein_, which Hegel uses for the category in question, has been
+translated into `existence` by George Di Giovanni. It has also been translated
+into `determinate being` or `a being`. While these other translations are not
+incorrect, there are some additional benefits with using `existence`. It is both
+more precise and is linguistically more natural. As Di Giovanni writes, "All
+_Dasein_ is 'determinate being,' but not all 'determinate being' is merely
+_Dasein_. Moreover, using 'determinate being' makes the task of translating such
+derivatives as _seiend_, _Seiendes_, and _Daseiendes_, practically impossible or
+at least very cumbersome" (Hegel 2010, lxviii).

+## Overview of Existence
+
+`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
+notion of _quality_, which further entail the twin notions of `reality` and
+`negation`. Existence develops further into `something`, which is rendered
+opposed to an `other`, which mark the initial appearance of `finitude`.
+
+Through `something` and `other`, the categories of `determination` (not to be
+confused with determinateness or `determinate being`), `constitution` and
+`limit` are developed. It is from `limit` that `finitude` explicitly becomes
+developed and with it, `infinity` becomes explicit. Finally, it is through the
+joint development of `finitude` and `infinity` that inaugurates
+`being-for-itself`.
+
+In the _Logic_, the chapter titled Existence covers all of the above mentioned
+categories, but this section will only concern itself with `existence` as such.
+Further categories will receive treatment in their own separate sections.
