Ebook: Hegel on being. Volune 2, Quantity and measure in Hegel's 'Science of Logic'

Hegel on Being provides an authoritative treatment of Hegel’s entire logic of being. Stephen Houlgate presents the Science of Logic as an important and neglected text within Hegel’s oeuvre that should occupy a more significant place in the history of philisophy. In the Science of Logic, Hegel set forth a distinctive conception of the most fundamental forms of being through a close study of quality, quantity and measure. Exploring the full trajectory of Hegel's logic of being from quality to measure, this two-volumework by a preeminent Hegel scholar situates Hegel's text in relation to the work of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, and Frege.

Lucidly written, with characteristic philosophical depth and analysis, Houlgate’s Hegel on Being explicates one of Hegel’s most complex works, providing a vital reference for a generation of Hegel scholars and a major contribution to the literature on 19th-century German philosophy.
