YetHegel's central text, the monumental \u003ci\u003eScience of Logic\u003c\/i\u003e, still remains formost philosophers (both figuratively and literally) a firmly closed book. Thepurpose of \u003ci\u003eThe Opening of Hegel's Logic\u003c\/i\u003e is to dispel the myths thatsurround the \u003ci\u003eLogic \u003c\/i\u003eand to show that Hegel's unjustly neglected text is awork of extraordinary subtlety and insight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One of \u003ci\u003eThe Opening of Hegel's Logic\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the \u003ci\u003eLogic\u003c\/i\u003eprovides a rigorous derivation of the fundamental categories of thought andcontrasts Hegel's approach to the categories with that of Kant. It goes on toexamine the historical and linguistic presuppositions of Hegel's self-critical,\"presuppositionless\" logic and, in the process, considers severalsignifi­cant criticisms of such logic advanced by Schelling, Feuerbach,Gadamer, and Kierkegaard. Separate chapters are devoted to the relation betweenlogic and ontology in Hegel's \u003ci\u003eLogic\u003c\/i\u003eand to the relation between the \u003ci\u003eLogic\u003c\/i\u003eitself and the \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology\u003c\/i\u003e. PartTwo contains the text –  in German and English –  of the firsttwo chapters of Hegel's \u003ci\u003eLogic\u003c\/i\u003e, whichcover such categories as being, becoming, something, limit, finitude, andinfinity. Part Three then provides a clear and accessible commentary on thesetwo chapters that both examines Hegel's arguments in detail and relates hisinsights to those of other philosophers, such as Descartes, Spinoza, Kant,Nietzsche, and Levinas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTheOpening of Hegel's Logic\u003c\/i\u003e aims tohelp students and scholars read Hegel's often formidably difficult text forthemselves and discover the wealth of philosophical riches that it contains. Italso argues that Hegel's project of a presuppositionless science of logic isone that deserves serious consideration today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Purdue University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50075550155095,"sku":"9781557532572","price":26.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781557532572.jpg?v=1740635557","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-opening-of-hegels-logic-from-being-to-infinity-9781557532572","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
