- Synopsis
- Although Hegel considereda"Science of Logic"aessential to his philosophy, it has received scant commentary compared with the other three books he published in his lifetime. Here philosopher Stanley Rosen rescues thea"Science of Logic"afrom obscurity, arguing that its neglect is responsible for contemporary philosophyOCOs fracture into many different and opposed schools of thought. Through deep and careful analysis, Rosen sheds new light on the precise problems that animate HegelOCOs overlooked book and their tremendous significance to philosophical conceptions of logic and reason. RosenOCOs overarching question is how, if at all, rationalism can overcome the split between monism and dualism. MonismOCowhich claims a singular essence for all thingsOCoultimately leads to nihilism, while dualism, which claims multiple, irreducible essences, leads to what Rosen calls OC the endless chatter of the history of philosophy. OCO Thea"Science of Logic," he argues, is the fundamental text to offer a new conception of rationalism that might overcome this philosophical split. Leading readers through HegelOCOs book from beginning to end, RosenOCOs argument culminates in a masterful chapter on the Idea in Hegel. By fully appreciating the"Science of Logic"aand situating it properly within HegelOCOs oeuvre, Rosen in turn provides new tools for wrangling with the conceptual puzzles that have brought so many other philosophers to disaster.
