Short description:
This book offers a new interpretation of Hegel's Logic, the foundational work of his philosophical system.
Long description:
Kant said that logic had not had to take a single step forward since Aristotle, but German Idealists in the following generation made concerted efforts to re-think the logical foundations of philosophy. In this book, Jacob McNulty offers a new interpretation of Hegel's Logic, the key work of his philosophical system. McNulty shows that Hegel is responding to a perennial problem in the history and philosophy of logic: the logocentric predicament. In Hegel, we find an answer to a question so basic that it cannot be posed without risking incoherence: what is the justification for logic? How can one justify logic without already relying upon it? The answer takes the form of re-thinking the role of metaphysics in philosophy, so that logic assumes a new position as derivative rather than primary. This important book will appeal to a wide range of readers in Hegel studies and beyond.
'Hegel's Logic might be the most obscure major work in the history of Western philosophy.&&&160;Jacob McNulty's Hegel's Logic and Metaphysics marks a great advance in dispelling the obscurity. McNulty focuses on a deceptively simple question - how does Hegel justify the laws and materials of logic?-and in the course of answering it he offers a clear, well-argued, and original interpretation of the nature of Hegelian metaphysics.'
