2. The Idea Of Hegel's "Science Of Logic"
A rigorous yet accessible reconstruction of Hegel’s logic, this study argues that it is a metaphysical science tracing the self-movement of thought from immediacy to the Concept. Through close readings of key transitions and categories, it clarifies the necessity of dialectical development, defends the internal coherence of the system, and situates it within the classical–modern philosophical debate, while engaging contemporary criticisms to show its enduring relevance.
