Summary/Abstract: The absolute pure being harnesses within itself the entire development of consciousness until its ultimate emergence as the Logos. As a result, the absolute pure being encompasses within itself a trajectory of enlightenment regarding historical consciousness and its identification with the divine (the pure being), which means that from the perspective of the absolute pure being the logos becomes trans-substantial. From the perspective of the logos, the pure pre-reflexive being is reflected onto itself and thus we bear witness to the first separation inside the pure being itself. This primordial rupture stands as the premise of understanding and dialectic transcendence. This paper aims at exploring the connection between logos and primordial freedom as absolute negativity. The dawn of freedom appears when the being itself becomes logos.
