"HEGEL, G. W. F."

"Wissenschaft der Logik."

      "Octavo, 3 volumes: 334pp, 282pp, 403 pp. Rare complete set of the first edition of Hegel's Scienceof Logic. First two volumes (which together make up ""die objektive Logik"") are in contemporary paper-covered boards, with handwritten paper labels on the spines. The third volume (""Wissenschaft der subjectiven Logik, oder die Lehre vom Begriff"") is in a later 19th Century binding of marbled paper over boards and embossed leather label on the spine, bound to a slightly smaller height than the others. The Science of Logic is the first statement of Hegel's mature systematic philosophy, building on the 1807 publication of the Phaenomenologie des Geistes. The delights of Hegel’s Logic will come as a surprise to most readers who wouldn’t normally consider reading a book containing the ""L"" word in its title – an intellectual tour de force on the order of another great and utterly gratifying read the same class of reader would typically eschew for a similar reason: Spinoza’s Ethica ordine geometrica demonstrata. The set is lightly edgeworn, but otherwise quite lovely. Housed in custom half-morocco clamshell box."
