New York: The Macmillan Company, 1929. First English language edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 2 vol. 8vo. [7], 8-404; [5], 8-486, [2] pp. Red publisher's cloth with gold lettering on the spine, lacks the dust jackets. A few leaves in volume two unopened. Translated by W.H. Johnston and L.G. Struthers. With an introductory preface by Viscount Haldane of Cloan. Weiss 303. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "Georg Willhelm Friedrich Hegel". The work is divided into three books, dealing with being, essence, and concept. According to the SEP, some philosophers view this work as more metaphysical in focus and having little to do with logic, while others view it as a work of post-Kantian transcendental logic, foucsed upon the notion of logic as categories revealed by the necessary structure of thought. Hegel is among the principal Continental philosophers, with his work influencing Richard Rorty, Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre, and others. Hegel is the best known philosopher amongst the German idealists who followed Kant, and has seen something of a revival of interest from both continental and analytic philosophers in recent years. A beautiful set of one of Hegel's principal works. A Near Fine set with a touch of wear to the fore-edge of volume two and to the corners of the boards.
