Filosoof en een van de grondleggers van het Duitse idealisme. Beïnvloed door Kants transcendentale idealisme en Rousseaus politiek, formuleerde Hegel een uitgebreid systeem van historische ontwikkeling van ethiek, regering en religie door de dialectische ontplooiing van het Absolute. Hij was een van de bekendste historicistische filosofen en zijn denken greep vooruit op de continentale filosofie, inclusief het postmodernisme. Zijn systeem werd door Karl Marx, oorspronkelijk lid van de factie van de Jonge Hegelianen, omgekeerd tot een materialistische ideologie.

This new 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.
Kant's intriguing perspective challenges traditional definitions by asserting that the straight line, defined as the shortest distance between two points, is a synthetic proposition. He argues that our understanding of straightness is based on quality rather than size, suggesting that all definitions are inherently synthetic. This exploration delves into the nature of concepts and intuitions, emphasizing the complexity of defining fundamental geometric ideas.
