Summary/Abstract: The article presents the Hegelian notion of a substantial absolute, which is included in the “Exposition of the Absolute” in the Doctrine of Essence, in the “Science of Logic”. It shows its ambiguity and lack of meaningful content, which is, however, the way it was intended by the philosopher himself. By doing so Hegel points out how the concept of the absolute should not be con-strued by those who want to attain the absolute truth.
