Hegel’s Dialectics: Logic, Consciousness and History

Nenad Miščević

Abstract

Graham Priest has brilliantly analyzed Hegel’s dialectics, as far as its logical and abstract ontological (metaphysical) struc- ture goes, and has successfully related it to his own logically sophisticated dialethism. After briefly reminding the reader of his account, the paper turns to the other, not purely logical side of Hegel’s dialectics, and points to his strategy of bringing together ontological, anthropological and historical matters together with the logical structure, in a manner quite foreign to analytic tradi- tion. It concludes with the proposal that Hegel’s way of directly connecting logical ontological, anthropological and historical matters has played the crucial role in the birth of what later became known as specif- ically “continental” philosophy. The paper concludes by raising the question of the re- lation between the two, the abstract logico- ontological approach, favored by Priest, and the rich, anthropologically and historically informed one found in all major works of Hegel.
