Geraets, Theodore,Brouwer, James.2009-03-252009-03-2519971997Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 36-06, page: 1469.9780612284043http://hdl.handle.net/10393/9920http://dx.doi.org/10.20381/ruor-8037In 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.118 p.Philosophy.Thesis
