***
The Science of Logic is probably one of the fundamental texts for understanding the Hegelian thought. Indeed, the Logicrepresents the first sphere of Hegel’s encyclopedic system, and its comprehension is essential to grasp the structure of the Philosophy of Nature and the Philosophy of Spirit. In this reading group we therefore propose a detailed reading of the first book of the Science of Logic, the Doctrine of Being. Following this first phase, the reading group plans two more cycles to analyze the Doctrine of Essence and the Doctrine of the Concept.
Language: English.
We will use the following recommended edition: G.W.F. Hegel, The Science of Logic. Trans. George Di Giovanni. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010.
