The Science of Logic

Three books, or three teachings – on being, essence, and concept – form the foundation of the philosophical system of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel 1770–1831, taking shape between 1812 and 1816. The work was first published in two volumes: Objective... Logic for the first two books and Subjective Logic for the last book. This is one of the most influential philosophical works of the modern era, partly playing a role in the formation of neo-Marxism, philosophical hermeneutics, and dialectical materialism. The translation into Russian was done by Doctor of Philosophical Sciences and ardent Marxist Boris Grigoryevich Stolpner 1871–1937. He used more than one edition, working with all of them at once, paying special attention to the first posthumous edition. In the early 20th century, reviews of the new translation of The Science of Logic noted that the translator managed to convey the fluidity of word meanings, offering the most accurate formulations of Hegel's ideas.
