Abstract
This volume contains twelve papers and selected replies originally delivered at the Tenth Biennial Meeting of the Hegel Society of America, held at Loyola University of Chicago, October 7-9, 1988. The choice to focus that meeting on interpretations of Hegel’s logic presented the contributors to this volume with a formidable challenge. It is one thing to find new ways to interpret Hegel’s thought in the light of contemporary or perennial philosophical problems, or in comparison with the work of other major philosophers. Such themes seem to offer almost limitless and inexhaustible possibilities. Attempting, by contrast, to say something original and important about the Logic constitutes a labor of Sisyphus, in light of the extensive exegesis and interpretation of these texts already undertaken by virtually all of the outstanding Hegel scholars during the past century and a half.
