Essays on Hegel's Logic - hardcover

This book covers all aspects of Hegel's logic, raises fundamental issues a well as particular problems of interpretation. It discusses whether a speculative logic is possible at all and whether Hegelian logic requires a metalogic or whether it can and ought to make an absolute beginning. It examines conceptually and historically, the being-nothing dialectic, the relation of essece to show (Schein) and Hegel's treatment of the modal categories. It proposes radically different views of the role of the understanding in Hegelian logic and a radically different view of the necessity underlying it. The book concludes with the argument that Hegel's dialectical logic can cope with a problem that Aristotle's could not.
