Die Wesenslogik in Hegels "Wissenschaft der Logik"
Versuch einer Rekonstruktion und Kritik unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der philosophischen Tradition
Does Hegel‹s ‹Wissenschaft der Logik‹ (Science of Logic) accomplish its goal of presenting a necessary system of the absolute? This question cannot possibly be answered with a paraphrasing commentary but only with an attempt at a strict reconstruction. This is the task addressed in the present study, which limits itself to the logic of essence. It shows that the logic of essence cannot be sustained as a coherent system. The reconstruction results in a high level of transparency of the work itself and of its relationship to the philosophical tradition, in particular to Kant‹s former metaphysics and critical philosophy.
