The Logic of Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Book Overview: 

This is the William Wallace translation of the first part of Hegel's Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences on logic. This is an outline of Hegel's logical system that he would use and elaborate on during his lectures, it is a shorter version of his earlier publication The Science of Logic. The William Wallace translation is very influential and famous for its clarity, although he took some liberties and does not always stick closely to Hegel's original text.

In the theory of logic itself these forms will be exhibited, not only on their negative, but also on their positive side.

When we compare the different forms of ascertaining truth with one another, the first of them, immediate knowledge, may perhaps seem the finest, noblest and most appropriate. It includes everything which the moralists term innocence as well as religious feeling, simple trust, love, fidelity, and natural faith. The two other forms, first reflective, and secondly philosophical cognition, must leave that unsought natural harmony behind.

I tried to post my review here, but it's too long for Goodreads. If you're interested, you can read it here: Fragments on Hegel's Science of Logic.

This is my second time having read this book. Hegel is less abstract with this book than he is with his Phenomenology of Spirit, and he is trying to take himself more seriously with this book. When Heidegger said that ‘philosophy ended with Hegel’ and ‘by logic, Hegel meant metaphysics’ he is referr
