Doubled middle
The doubled middle is a central concept of the legal and system philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel . In his so-called second Jena phase (1803/1807), Hegel used it to describe the unity of two extremes in order to characterize the mode of empirical consciousness more closely. He illustrates his use of the term in the dialectical contrast between language and memory and between work and tools.
Used in modern times, the term refers to theoretical options for describing fuzzy set delimitations such as fuzzy set theory or fractal logic .
