If it is necessary to posit a sufficient reason—a ground—for every mental event, then it must be the case that such a ground exists for every determination of thought— for every choice—perhaps even its own ground. For Hegel, “Ground is first, absolute ground, in which essence is” (SL, 445); thought—spirit itself—grounds its own ground. As the grounding of its own ground, thought determines itself as the “absolute foundation,” a foundation it has forged by its own hands.
