Science of Logic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hegel's work The Science of Logic outlined his vision of logic, quite far removed from the traditional syllogism. Since for Hegel all of reality is ultimately rational, logic is not merely about reasoning or argument but rather is also the rational, structural core of all of reality and every dimension of it. Thus Hegel's Science of Logic includes among other things analyses of being, nothingness, becoming, existence, reality, essence, reflection, concept, and method. As developed, it included the fullest description of his dialectic.
