The Science of Logic (Wissenschaft der Logik): Bilingual English & German Edition

This high-quality bilingual paperback edition is the only modern dual text of its kind for Hegel’s 1812 Wissenschaft der logik. The American English translation is followed by the original German (translated from the old Frankur script into the modern German text) for easy reference and study. The original paragraph markings of the text make it easy to flip back to the original German to understand the original text better. Explanatory brackets describe archaic concepts and words, and an introduction to the English version orients the reader to the structure and content of the text. This book is intended for new and experienced intellectuals who want to understand philosophic history- and thus the modern world- at the deepest levels.<br/><br/>The 'Greater Logic' of Wissenschaft der Logik is Hegel's fullest reification of his dialectal model. It explains the delineation of his Dialectic from the Platonic dialectic and the necessity to re-infuse dialectical thinking into metaphysics and logic. The critical development in Western Philosophy made here is when Hegel unified the assumed bifurcation within logic created by the Stoics between the content and the form (object) of cognition, arguing that correct Logic is both the abstract thought of the Subject and the Objects themselves- a metaphysical union unseen in the Platonized Western world up to this point. This is the lasting contribution of Hegel; he moved beyond the Logos-Philosophy of the ancient Greeks into an Ontological-metaphysical model. Beyond highbrow philosophy, the Logik is critically important historically. After the 1848 revolution, Marx re-read Wissenschaft der Logik, and it was critical to his formation of Das Capital- to the point where it is impossible to develop a sound understanding of Marxism without understanding Hegel's 1812 Logik.<br/><br/>This is the third of 11 publications from Newcomb Livraria Press covering all of Hegel’s major works chronologically:<br/><br/>1.
