  • The Logic of Hegel's 'Logic'

    by John W. Burbidge ...
    George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel has seldom been considered a major figure in the history of logic. His two texts on logic, both called The Science of Logic, both written in Hegel’s characteristically dense and obscure language, are often considered more as works of metaphysics than logic. But in this highly readable book, John Burbidge sets out to reclaim Hegel’s Science of Logic as logic and to ... Read more

    by John W. Burbidge ...
