In this book I deal with some fundamental problems of the Hegelian dialectic. For this purpose
I take a middle course between total scepticism which considers dialectic as a devastator
sophistry with no respect even for the non-contradiction principle and authoritarian dogmatism
which claims to solve any question with the magic wand of the Hegelian Aufhebung. That is I
decide to be critical defining concepts anew bringing out sources determining conditions of
possibility and fields of validity accepting or rejecting when necessary. Following G. R. G.
Mure's thinking from an inner point of view I examine whether in carrying out his work Hegel
remains faithful to the different principles he proclaims and I find substantial deviations.
And following W. Becker's thinking from an external point of view that is from a formal
empirical or existential contemporary angle I try to determine the extent to which we may
legitimately talk about the fruitfulness of Hegelian dialectic. In this way I reconstruct
Hegel's thought so that it may become acceptable to us-readers of the twentieth-century-as
intelligible and coherent as possible. I conclude that dialectic as a logic of human reality
has to be grasped and expressed from the viewpoint of the particular historical individual in
constant interaction with the cultural environment of his or her time. Using this approach I
investigate the questions at issue from Hegel's Logic point of view.
