Beskrivning

Hegel's Encyclopedia (“Lesser”) Logic and its Additions represent his definitive work (1830) on fundamental ontology, whose goal is to deduce purposive nature, the subject of the subsequent book in Hegel’s system, the Philosophy of Nature. While commentators have snubbed the “Lesser” Logic in favor of its “Greater” sibling, the Encyclopedia Logic’s posthumous, student-note Additions invite us into Hegel’s notoriously challenging metaphysical thought, offering lively references to his world and times. Further, in the Additions, we hear the thinker himself and feel the strength of his belief that even the most speculative philosophy is meant to be taught, understood and enjoyed.
