Publisher's Synopsis
Reflections on Hegel: What does it mean to read Hegel's text? After reading Hegel's Science of Logic, you don't know anything. Why is that? Many philosophers are unanimous in saying that almost every reader is unable to decipher Hegel's concepts. This is because the style of Hegel's texts is a challenge to thinking, seen firstly as an activity of thought, a synthesis of the objective and subjective of thinking, and then conceived as a reflection on something in Hegel. And the greatest challenge left by Hegel to the reader is to know that truth, in Hegel, is not a process, but a movement, whose coherence must be developed with arguments. This is the problem addressed in various parts of the essays collected in this book, written between 2013 and 2015, which New Academic Editions now presents to the public as a new textual and hermeneutic analysis of the conceptual network of Hegel's Science of Logic. The analysis should help feed the reflections of teachers, researchers and students who seek to find the answers to the great logical, methodological and epistemo-metaphysical problems and the means of understanding Logic.
