This book explores Hegel's theory of modality (actuality,
possibility, necessity, contingency) through extremely close
textual analysis of the "Actuality" chapter of Hegel's Science of
Logic. The "Actuality" chapter is the equivalence of Aristotle's
momentous Metaphysics book 9. Because of this, Hegel's chapter
deserves the same thorough investigation into its complex insights
and argumentation. This book situates Hegel's insights about
possibility and necessity within historical and contemporary
debates about metaphysics, while analyzing some of the most
controversial themes of Hegel's theory, such as the question of the
ontological status of unactualized possibilities, the relationship
between contradiction and possibility, and the claim that necessity
leads to freedom. This book also contributes to an ongoing
philosophical inquiry into the nature of dialectics by articulating
Hegel's "Actuality" chapter as a coherent argument divided into
twenty-seven premises.
