Hegel and the Problem of Beginning: Scepticism and Presuppositionlessness

هگل اولین کتاب علوم منطق خود را با بیان یک مسئله باز می کند: \"آغاز فلسفه باید یا چیزی واسطه باشد یا چیزی فوری باشد ، و به راحتی می توان نشان داد که نه یک و نه دیگری ، بنابراین هر یک از راه های شروع آن را رد می کند.\" علی رغم قرار دادن قابل توجه ، دقیقاً به معنای هگل در بیان این مشکل و دقیقاً آنچه که راه حل وی برای آن است ، نامشخص است. شک و تردید در آغاز منطق هگل. بحث Dunphy در مورد راه حل های مختلف قلمدادی که ممکن است تصور شود هگل به بحث و گفتگو در مورد نظرات هگل در مورد روش منطق ، رابطه بین منطق او و پدیدارشناسی او و تفاوت بین Donyclopaedia از منطق و علم بیشتر منطق خود کمک می کند. مقاله ، \"با چه چیزی باید آغاز علم ساخته شود؟\" که باید مورد توجه محققان و دانش آموزانی باشد که برای افتتاح منطق هگل کار می کنند.

Hegel opens the first book of his Science of Logic with the statement of a problem: “The beginning of philosophy must be either something mediated or something immediate, and it is easy to show that it can be neither the one nor the other, so either way of beginning finds its rebuttal.” Despite its significant placement, exactly what Hegel means in his expression of this problem and exactly what his solution to it is, remain unclear.

In this book, Robb Dunphy provides a detailed engagement with Hegel’s “problem of beginning”, locating it within Hegel’s account of significant approaches to the topic of beginning in the history of Western philosophy, as well as making an extended case for the influence of Pyrrhonian Scepticism on the beginning of Hegel’s Logic. Dunphy’s discussion of the various putative solutions that Hegel might be thought to put forward contributes to debates concerning Hegel’s views on the methodology of logic, the relation between his Logic and his Phenomenology of Spirit, and differences between his Encyclopaedia presentation of logic and that of his greater Science of Logic.

Hegel and the Problem of Beginning also functions as a critical commentary on Hegel’s essay, “With what must the beginning of the science be made?” which should be of interest to both researchers and students working on the opening of Hegel’s Logic.
