Abstract

From the author: How can Hegel’s Logic be called necessary? Relying on Hegel’s psychology to provide a perspective, the author suggests that the movement of thought may be interpreted as an intellectual activity, purified of relative contingencies. He then uses this principle to rework in detail Hegel’s argument in the first sections of “The Doctrine of Being,” “The Doctrine of Essence” and “The Doctrine of the Concept.”
