Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Basic Outline, Part 1, Science of Logic

by Klaus Brinkmann (Editor), Daniel O. Dahlstrom (Editor)

Hegel's Encyclopaedia Logic constitutes the foundation of the system of philosophy presented in his Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences. Together with his Science of Logic, it contains the most explicit formulation of his enduringly influential dialectical method and of the categorical system underlying his thought. It offers a more compact presentation of his dialectical method than is found elsewhere, and also incorporates changes that he would have made to the second edition of the Science of Logic if he had lived to do so. This volume presents it in a new translation with a helpful introduction and notes. It will be a valuable reference work for scholars and students of Hegel and German idealism, as well as for those who are interested in the post-Hegelian character of contemporary philosophy.

Interesting to compare between this and the Greater Logic. The more concentrated discussions of God in this text are helpful to illustrate aspects of Hegel’s philosophy of religion in relationship to his logic, while the absence of a discussion about calculus in this text is unfortunate but probably necessary given the length of its treatment in the Greater Logic alone. The Zusatze are helpful and insightful.

Clearer and easier to understand than his bigger works, thanks to the addenda provided by his student notes from his course.
