If the phrase "the philosophy of difference" defines French
anti-Hegelianism, then we have to say that there would be no
philosophy of difference without Logic and Existence. Derrida's
notion of differance, Deleuze's logic of sense, and Foucault's
reconception of history all stem from this book. This first English
translation of the virtually unknown Logic and Existence is
essential for the understanding of the development of French
thought in this century.
Logic and Existence, which originally appeared in 1952,
completes the project Hyppolite began with Genesis and Structure of
Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. Taking up successively the role of
language, reflection, and categories in Hegel's Science of Logic,
Hyppolite illuminates Hegelianism's most obscure dialectical
synthesis: the relation between the phenomenology and the
logic.
His interpretation of the relation between the phenomenology and
the logic has the result of marking a rupture in French thought.
Not only does Logic and Existence effectively end the humanistic
reading of Hegel popularized by Kojeve in France before World War
II, but also it initiates the great anti-Hegelianism of French
philosophy in the sixties. Hyppolite's work displays the
originality of Hegel's thought in a new way, and sets up the means
by which to escape from it.
