Book Synopsis
What is the relation between thinking and the I that thinks? And between thought and reality? The ordinary view is that there is only thought when someone thinks something, and thoughts and concepts are mental acts that refer to objects outside us. Ferrarin shows that Hegel's philosophy entails a radical criticism of this conception of thinking.
