Essays on Hegel’s Logic by George di Giovanni (PDF)

Description

This book, covering all aspects of Hegel’s logic, raises fundamental issues as well as particular problems of interpretation. It discusses whether a speculative logic is possible at all and whether Hegelian logic requires a metalogic or whether it can and ought to make an absolute beginning. It examines, conceptually and historically, the being-nothing dialectic, the relation of essence to show (Schein), and Hegel’s treatment of the modal categories. It proposes radically different views of the role of the ‘understanding’ in Hegelian logic and a radically different view of the necessity underlying it. The book concludes with the argument that Hegel’s dialectical logic can cope with a problem that Aristotle’s could not.Essays on Hegel’s Logic provides a welcome introduction to those interested in this central piece of Hegel’s system, and it poses the question of whether, and how, the logic provides a closure to the system. In different ways, and with different degrees of explicitness, the book deals precisely with this issue.

⭐Kant and Hegel hold the kingdom of the heavens

⭐I found all of the essays helpful and they each approached different perspectives. They filled in many gaps I had in understanding the logic. Probably grad or post-grad level. I highly recommend it. don’t skip around; the first five essays are excellent
