Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Outline (Enzyklopädie der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundrisse): Bilingual English & German Edition

This English-German bilingual edition of Hegel’s famous 1817 Encyclopaedia is the only modern dual-language of its kind. The English translation is followed by the original German (translated from the old Frankur script into the modern German text) for easy reference and studying. The English manuscript is mostly in British English, with some American English mixed in. Some of the more complicated passages translate better into British Morphology, but the casual American dialect is more accessible for most readers, so a balance is maintained. The German manuscript has been corrected from the original Fraktur to the modern German script. The spelling has also been update (for example Daseyn became Dasein and Seyende became Seienede. Explanatory brackets explain archaic concepts and words, and an introduction to the English version orients the reader to the structure and content of the text.<br/><br/>The Enzyklopädie contains abridged versions of Hegel’s entire Dialectical model broken down in three sections- the Wissenschaft der Logik, Natur und Geistes. His 1812 work Wissenschaft der Logik (the "greater logic") covers his understanding of Philosophy, Logic and Reason which is summarized in part I of the Encyclopedia, and his 1807 Phänomenologie expands upon Geist more thoroughly than part III, so here I will focus on his understanding and influence on Socioeconomics, particularly the 'inverted' Hegelian Dialectics of Marx. Instead of abstract beliefs about the nature of reality driving our existence, Marx inverted this to argue Economics is at the foundation of our reality from which everything else derives.<br/><br/>The Enzyklopädie contains the outline of Hegel's Dialectical Idealism and wars of Marx's Dialectical Materialism. You see Marx maintaining Hegel's nearly spiritual praise of the oppressed: '[the slave] will withdraw into itself and be transformed into a truly independent consciousness" (PS S 193). Yet Marx pulls out this aspect of the Dialectic and moves it from the domain of abstract, metaphysical philosophizing about Qualia into a purely Materialistic Socioeconomic domain, a specific type of Epistemological error which Hegel warns extensively against. Here in the Enzyklopädie, Hegel predicts the misuse his dialectics may undergo in the future, and articulates an anachronistic condemnation of Marxian metaphysics. He predicts great suffering if the central animating factor of the human story is de-mysticized as merely Power instead of Geist, and the horrors of the 20th century perpetrated in the name of Marxism attest to Hegel’s dire warning of intellect without faith.<br/><br/>This is the 4th of 11 publications from Newcomb Livraria Press covering all of Hegel’s major works chronologically in English and German:<br/><br/>1.
