ABSTRACT
As we would expect from the variety of problems which it is intended to solve, Hegel’s Logic is a puzzlingly complex and grandiose construction. Its details are intricate, often obscure and sometimes interesting, but we shall not be concerned with them here. More important than these is the question: ‘What in general is Hegel attempting to do in the Logic?’ and it is this question which we shall try to answer in this chapter. We begin with a general survey of the structure and contents of the work.
