The conception of the Hegelian dialectic.

Abstract

In its simplest form, this thesis is an attempt to clarify, interpret and defend the nature of the Hegelian dialectic--especially as it is articulated in the Science of Logic. This thesis does not ally itself with any picture of the dialectic as a constraining, oppressive structure, rather it suggests that the dialectic be read more as a dynamic process; an open-ended movement that has, in a certain sense, already anticipated and accounted for many of the objections brought against it.
