Science of Logic (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Philosophical Logic of Being, Essence, Concept, and Dialectical BecomingBy Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HegelLength17h 57m
About this audiobook
In Science of Logic, Hegel undertakes one of the most ambitious projects in modern philosophy: the exposition of pure thinking as it unfolds through its own immanent necessity. Moving from Being through Essence to the Concept, the work replaces static categories with a dynamic dialectical movement in which each determination reveals its insufficiency and passes into a richer form. Dense, rigorous, and architectonic, its style belongs to post-Kantian German Idealism while transforming metaphysics into a logic of becoming. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, born in Stuttgart in 1770, wrote in the aftermath of Kant's critical philosophy, the French Revolution, and the intellectual ferment of Romanticism. His concern was to overcome the divisions between subject and object, freedom and necessity, thought and reality. Science of Logic, composed after the Phenomenology of Spirit, reflects his mature effort to provide the systematic foundation for philosophy, nature, and spirit. This book is recommended to readers prepared for demanding philosophical inquiry and rewarded by conceptual depth. It is indispensable for students of metaphysics, dialectics, Marxism, theology, and continental thought, offering not merely arguments but a profound education in how thinking generates and comprehends its own forms.
