This text presents an analysis of Hegel's most challenging work, Science of Logic. Although earlier commentators on the Logic have considered standard analytical philosophy - and with it modern logic - in opposition to Hegel, Clark Butler views it as a legitimate approach in terms of which Hegel needs to be understood.

The result is an account of the Logic intelligible to both...

The lectures provide important insight into Hegel's science of logic, dialectical method, and symbolic logic. Clark Butler's smooth translation helps readers understand the rationality of Hegel's often dark...
