This book explores the relationship between Hegel’s dialectics
and formal logic. It examines the concept of dialectics, its
meaning, and its use in contemporary thought. The volume opens the
“old” debate about the formalization of Hegel’s dialectics
and is motivated by the idea that asking about the connection
between Hegel’s dialectics and formal logic is still relevant,
for various reasons: Firstly, a new Hegel is circulating nowadays
in the philosophical literature, with specific reference to
Hegel’s dialectical logic and its relation to the history and
philosophy of logic. Secondly, new research about the connection
between contradictory logical systems and Hegel's dialectics is
also being developed. Finally, there have been recent confirmations
that the concept of dialectics is of general interest, and that the
usual perplexities about the Hegelian triadic and fairly mechanic
device of ‘yes, not, and not not’ are in remission. The
chapters feature philosophically and historically motivated
presentations of formal features of Hegel’s dialectics, critical
considerations about the very idea of ‘formalizing dialectics’
and presentations of past attempts to formalize Hegel’s
dialectics. The Formalization of Dialectics will be a key resource
for scholars and researchers of the history and philosophy of logic
and Hegel’s dialectics. It will also be of interest to anyone who
wants to know more about the concept of dialectics, its meaning and
its use in contemporary thought. This book was originally published
as a special issue of History and Philosophy of Logic.
This book is a consideration of Hegel's view on logic and basic
logical concepts such as truth, form, validity, and contradiction,
and aims to assess this view's relevance for contemporary
philosophical logic. The literature on Hegel's logic is fairly
rich. The attention to contemporary philosophical logic places the
present research closer to those works interested in the link
between Hegel's thought and analytical philosophy
(Stekeler-Weithofer 1992 and 2019, Berto 2005, Rockmore 2005,
Redding 2007, Nuzzo 2010 (ed.), Koch 2014, Brandom 2014, 1-15,
Pippin 2016, Moyar 2017, Quante & Mooren 2018 among others). In
this context, one particularity of this book consists in focusing
on something that has been generally underrated in the literature:
the idea that, for Hegel as well as for Aristotle and many other
authors (including Frege), logic is the study of the forms of
truth, i.e. the forms that our thought can (or ought to) assume in
searching for truth. In this light, Hegel's thinking about logic is
a fundamental reference point for anyone interested in a
philosophical foundation of logic.

The papers in this volume present some of the most recent results
of the work about contradictions in philosophical logic and
metaphysics; examine the history of contradiction in crucial phases
of philosophical thought; consider the relevance of contradictions
for political and philosophical actuality. From this consideration
a common question emerges: the question of the irreducibility,
reality and productive force of (some) contradictions.
