Excerpt from Hegel's Logic: An Essay in Interpretation
Of inestimable value to the student of philoso phy. Unfortunately the proverbial obscurity of Hegel has deterred many from undertaking a systematic study Of his works. It is my con viction that the text of the Logic is self-illumi nating. It has been my endeavor, therefore, to simplify all technical terms and explain their significance in the light of the definitions as given by Hegel himself, and as indicated in the context where such terms severally occur. There has been throughout an attempt to render intelligible the fundamental Hegelian doctrines by means of simple statement and illustration. The method Of interpretation has grown out of the belief that the best commentary upon Hegel is Hegel himself. The basis Of this exposition has been the Logic Of the Encglclopd'dic dcr phi losophischcn Mssenschaflen, Hegel's vverke, VI. During the preparation Of this volume I have received valuable suggestions from my friend, Professor Creighton of Cornell University, to whom I gladly express my indebtedness.
