Description

What is the scope and justification of Hegel's Science of Logic? What is the meaning of his identification of Logic and metaphysics? What is his relation to traditional metaphysics and to Kant's philosophy?

Offering a unique and innovative reading of Hegel's metaphysics, this book provides in-depth and original textual analysis of portions of Hegel's text. It combines a “historical” approach to Hegel's text with conceptual and meta-metaphysical awareness of the different notions of “metaphysics” at play in the contemporary landscape, not only to produce a more faithful understanding of what Hegel exactly meant by metaphysics, but also to assess whether Hegel could give a contribution to contemporary issues. Elena Tripaldi also demonstrates that Hegel's metaphysics consists of a peculiar form of ontological monism, in which the ontological consistency of particulars is not only preserved but exalted.
