An Interpretation of the Logic of Hegel cover

This non-fiction hardback, "An Interpretation of the Logic of Hegel" from Errol E Harris, was published 11th November 1983 by University Press of America.

...admirable...Harris's success lies in his demonstration of the naturalness, not to say common-sense, of the demand for wholeness and system together with his clarification of the detail of Hegel's practice. * The Philosophical Quarterly *
The Logic remains Hegel's least accessible work. German and French commentaries have existed for some time. Now, finally we have one in English written by a scholar whose acquaintance with Hegel and whose precision in interpreting his most difficult book are surpassed by none. -- Louis DuprÈ, Yale University * The Philosophical Quarterly *
Harris's treatment of Hegel's logic is sympathetic, detailed, and thorough. Comparison and contrast of his own analyses with those of other Hegel scholars are a strong point of the book. The discussion of Hegel's conception of logic and its place in Hegel's system is among the best to date. The particularly valuable postscript deals with the question of the tenability of Hegelianism today, thereby providing an overall evaluation of Hegel's philosophy and its contemporary significance. Excellent bibliography. Highly recommended for advanced undergraduate and graduate collections. -- Louis DuprÈ, Yale University * CHOICE *
Any contribution to illuminating this dense conceptual prose is welcome; and students who first encounter the sparseness of the Encyclopaedia text will turn to Harris with relief, for he provides an introduction and a sense of perspective that can sustain interest...Because it makes this contribution to future Hegel scholarship, this book will have its place. * Idealistic Studies *
