Hegel's Encyclopaedia Logic constitutes the foundation of the
system of philosophy presented in his Encyclopaedia of the
Philosophical Sciences. Together with his Science of Logic, it
contains the most explicit formulation of his enduringly
influential dialectical method and of the categorical system
underlying his thought. It offers a more compact presentation of
his dialectical method than is found elsewhere, and also
incorporates changes that he would have made to the second edition
of the Science of Logic if he had lived to do so. This volume
presents it in a new translation with a helpful introduction and
notes. It will be a valuable reference work for scholars and
students of Hegel and German idealism, as well as for those who are
interested in the post-Hegelian character of contemporary
philosophy.
This translation of The Science of Logic (also known as 'Greater
Logic') includes the revised Book I (1832), Book II (1813) and Book
III (1816). Recent research has given us a detailed picture of the
process that led Hegel to his final conception of the System and of
the place of the Logic within it. We now understand how and why
Hegel distanced himself from Schelling, how radical this break with
his early mentor was, and to what extent it entailed a return (but
with a difference) to Fichte and Kant. In the introduction to the
volume, George Di Giovanni presents in synoptic form the results of
recent scholarship on the subject, and, while recognizing the fault
lines in Hegel's System that allow opposite interpretations, argues
that the Logic marks the end of classical metaphysics. The
translation is accompanied by a full apparatus of historical and
explanatory notes.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (August 27, 1770 - November 14, 1831)
was a German philosopher. He was born in Stuttgart, southwest
Germany. One of his biggest achievements was to introduce the idea
that History and the concrete are important in getting out of the
circle of philosophia perennis, i.e., the perennial problems of
philosophy. His influence has been widespread on writers of widely
varying positions, including both his admirers (F. H. Bradley,
Sartre, Hans Kung, Bruno Bauer, Karl Marx), and his detractors
(Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schelling).
This book is a translation of a classic work of modern social and political thought. Elements of the Philosophy of Right, Hegel's last major published work, is an attempt to systematize ethical theory, natural right, the philosophy of law, political theory, and the sociology of the modern state into the framework of Hegel's philosophy of history. Hegel's work has been interpreted in radically different ways, influencing many political movements from far right to far left, and is widely perceived as central to the communitarian tradition in modern ethical, social, and political thought. This edition includes extensive editorial material informing the reader of the historical background of Hegel's text, and explaining his allusions to Roman law and other sources, making use of lecture materials which have only recently become available. The new translation is literal, readable, and consistent, and will be informative and scholarly enough to serve the needs of students and specialists alike.
Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) is one of the most
influential texts in the history of modern philosophy. In it, Hegel
proposed an arresting and novel picture of the relation of mind to
world and of people to each other. Like Kant before him, Hegel
offered up a systematic account of the nature of knowledge, the
influence of society and history on claims to knowledge, and the
social character of human agency itself. A bold new understanding
of what, after Hegel, came to be called 'subjectivity' arose from
this work, and it was instrumental in the formation of later
philosophies, such as existentialism, Marxism, and American
pragmatism, each of which reacted to Hegel's radical claims in
different ways. This edition offers a new translation, an
introduction, and glossaries to assist readers' understanding of
this central text, and will be essential for scholars and students
of Hegel.

This work brings together, for the first time in English
translation, Hegel's journal publications from his years in
Heidelberg (1816-18), writings which have been previously either
untranslated or only partially translated into English. The
Heidelberg years marked Hegel's return to university teaching and
represented an important transition in his life and thought. The
translated texts include his important reassessment of the works of
the philosopher F. H. Jacobi, whose engagement with Spinozism,
especially, was of decisive significance for the philosophical
development of German Idealism. They also include his most
influential writing about contemporary political events, his essay
on the constitutional assembly in his native Wurttemberg, which was
written against the background of the dramatic political and social
changes occurring in post-Napoleonic Germany. The translators have
provided an introduction and notes that offer a scholarly
commentary on the philosophical and political background of Hegel's
Heidelberg writings.
