The Encyclopaedia Logic

“The appearance of this translation is a major event in English-language Hegel studies, for it is more than simply a replacement for Wallace’s translation cum paraphrase. Hegel’s Prefaces to each of the three editions of the Enzyklopädie are translated for the first time into English. There is a very detailed Introduction translating Hegel’s German, which serves not only as a guide to the translator’s usage but also to Hegel’s. Also included are a detailed bilingual annotated glossary, very extensive bibliographic and interpretive notes to Hegel’s text (28 pp.), an Index of References for works cited in the notes, a select Bibliography of recent works on Hegel’s logic, and a detailed Index (16 pp.).
“The translation is guided by the (correct) principle that rendering Hegel’s logical thought clearly and consistently requires rendering his technical terms logically. . . . This ought immediately to become the standard translation of this important work.”
     —Kenneth R. Westphal, in Review of Metaphysics
