The End of Hegel's Logic: Absolute Idea as Absolute Method

Authors

Angelica Nuzzo, City University of New York

Abstract

The article examines the conclusion of Hegel's Wissenschaft der Logik, focusing on the transition from the absolute idea to the absolute method. It argues that the absolute method is not merely the culmination of the logical process but is essential for establishing the speculative science of logic, which underpins Hegel's philosophical system. The absolute method rescues the logical development from non-dialectical thinking, providing a synoptic reconstruction that justifies the necessity of the system and leads to Realphilosophie.
