Hegel frequently claimed that the heart of his entire system was a
book widely regarded as among the most difficult in the history of
philosophy, The Science of Logic. This is the book that presents
his metaphysics, an enterprise that he insists can only be properly
understood as a "logic," or a "science of pure thinking." Since he
also wrote that the proper object of any such logic is pure
thinking itself, it has always been unclear in just what sense such
a science could be a "metaphysics." Robert B. Pippin offers here a
bold, original interpretation of Hegel's claim that only now, after
Kant's critical breakthrough in philosophy, can we understand how
logic can be a metaphysics. Pippin addresses Hegel's deep, constant
reliance on Aristotle's conception of metaphysics, the difference
between Hegel's project and modern rationalist metaphysics, and the
links between the "logic as metaphysics" claim and modern
developments in the philosophy of logic. Pippin goes on to explore
many other facets of Hegel's thought, including the significance
for a philosophical logic of the self-conscious character of
thought, the dynamism of reason in Kant and Hegel, life as a
logical category, and what Hegel might mean by the unity of the
idea of the true and the idea of the good in the "Absolute Idea."
The culmination of Pippin's work on Hegel and German idealism, this
is a book that no Hegel scholar or historian of philosophy will
want to miss.
