Hegel's Logic and Metaphysics

Kant Said That Logic Had Not Had To Take A Single Step Forward Since Aristotle But German Idealists In The Following Generation Made Concerted Efforts To Re-Think The Logical Foundations Of Philosophy. In This Book Jacob Mcnulty Offers A New Interpretation Of Hegel''S Logic The Key Work Of His Philosophical System. Mcnulty Shows That Hegel Is Responding To A Perennial Problem In The History And Philosophy Of Logic: The Logocentric Predicament. In Hegel We Find An Answer To A Question So Basic That It Cannot Be Posed Without Risking Incoherence: What Is The Justification For Logic? How Can One Justify Logic Without Already Relying Upon It? The Answer Takes The Form Of Re-Thinking The Role Of Metaphysics In Philosophy So That Logic Assumes A New Position As Derivative Rather Than Primary. This Important Book Will Appeal To A Wide Range Of Readers In Hegel Studies And Beyond.
