Hegel's Inversion of Philosophy (English, W. Clark Wolf)

Product description Review 'Wolf's engaging and insightful book shows us a Hegel whose core concerns diverge sharply from those of the tradition. This Hegel puts the human, 'made' world front and center, insisting that it is not just different in kind from the given world of nature but also philosophically more fundamental. With its penetrating treatment of the Hegelian concept of substance and structures of inference, Wolf's 'artifactual paradigm' opens a new approach to Hegel's Logic. And by extending his reading into Hegel's political philosophy, philosophy of nature, and aesthetics, Wolf shows us how to bring that paradigm to bear on the whole of Hegel's system. His is a striking accomplishment; Hegel's Inversion of Philosophy will prove to be a touchstone for future Hegel scholarship.' Sebastian Rand, Georgia State University Book Description An interpretation of Hegel's philosophy as being oriented by the logical structure of the humanly made world, in which concepts are realized objectively.
