Hegel's Science of Logic cover

This text provides a truly comprehensive guide to one of the most important and challenging works of modern philosophy. The systematic complexity of Hegel's radical project in the Science of Logic prevents many from understanding and appreciating its value. By independently and critically working through Hegel's argument, this book offers an enlightening aid for study and anchors the Science of Logic at a central position in the philosophical canon.

It should be noted interest, by endeavoring to follow faithfully the Hegelian presentation, including joints and transitions are well explained, provides the English reader a significant help in reading a difficult text. * Bulletin de littérature hégélienne *
Winfield is capable of a sophisticated and plausible argumentation that throws a great deal of light on the reasoning that Hegel uses as he develops his system. * Mind: A Quarterly Review of Philosophy *
In Hegel’s Science of Logic, Richard Winfield provides a clear and detailed guide through the entirety of one of the most influential, and demanding, works in the philosophic tradition. Following the lecture format and style, Winfield calls attention to a problem, reaches an impasse, or confronts a dilemma, and then opens the way to a resolution, as he patiently leads the reader along the complex paths of Hegel’s argumentation. In the process he uncovers the novel project Hegel undertakes in his Logic, while illuminating the role it plays in the Hegelian corpus as a whole. -- Robert B. Berman, Xavier University of Louisiana
