To the scientists and philosophers of our time, Hegel has been
either a ne glected or a provocative thinker, a source of
irrelevant dark metaphysics or of complex but insightful analysis.
His influence upon the work of natural scientists has seemed
minimal, in the main; and his stimulus to the nascent sciences of
society and to psychology has seemed to be as often an obstacle as
an encouragement. Nevertheless his philosophical analysis of
knowledge and the knowing process, of concepts and their
evolutionary formation, of rationality in its forms and histories,
of the stages of empirical awareness and human practice, all set
within his endless inquiries into cultural formations from the
entire sweep of human experience, must, we believe, be confronted
by anyone who wants to understand the scientific consciousness.
Indeed, we may wish to situate the changing theories of nature, and
of humankind in nature, within a philosophical account of men and
women as social practi tioners and as sensing, thinking, feeling
centers of privacy; and then we will see the work of Hegel as a
major effort to mediate between the purest of epistemological
investigations and the most practical of the political and the
religious. This book, long delayed to our deep regret, derives from
a Symposium on Hegel and the Sciences which was sponsored jointly
by the Hegel Society of America and the Boston University Center
for Philosophy and History of Science a decade ago."
