The Logic of Hegel

This volume offers a careful, revised translation of the opening part of Hegel’s Encyclopaedia, the section traditionally known as the Science of Logic. Framed as a classroom guide, it presents the dense system of thought in concise paragraphs that invite listeners to follow the flow of dialectical reasoning. The translator adds a short bibliographic overview of the three editions and excerpts from Hegel’s original prefaces, situating the work within his broader philosophical project. Listeners will sense the balance between Hegel’s soaring speculation and the practical demands of lecture‑room exposition.

The content moves through three distinct attitudes to objectivity—empiricism, critical philosophy, and immediate intuition—before branching into the doctrines of Being, Essence, and the Notion. Along the way, clear notes illuminate obscure terms without overwhelming the philosophical argument, making the text approachable for both newcomers and seasoned scholars. As an audio experience, the work invites a thoughtful, measured engagement with the foundations of Hegelian logic.
