This book will examine one of the oldest problems in understanding
what Hegel was trying to do. What is the place of the Logic in the
Hegelian system? That is, how did Hegel see the relation between
"pure thought" and its origins or applications in our many forms of
experience? A novel approach to this old question has been adopted.
This book will study Hegel's account of what he regarded as the
closest "illustrations" of pure thinking, namely the way we find
our thought in language and the way philosophical truths are
expressed in religious talk. The preface will indicate the problem
and the approach. The introduction will examine three recent works
on Hegel and suggest how they invite the sort of study which is pro
posed here. There was a time when Hegel was read as the source of
all wisdom, a time also when he was treated only as an occasion of
ridicule. Both are now past. The attitude of metaphysicians is more
cautious, that of their opponents more receptive. Each side is
better prepared to allow those who hold an assured place in the
history of philosophy to speak for themselves and reveal their
achievements and their limits. In this atmosphere there is special
reason, on both sides, for the study of Hegel. No one has made such
extreme claims for metaphysical thought and developed it so
extensively and systematically. No one has demanded more from
posterity in the criticism of such thought."
