Abstract

In an attempt to reconcile first-hand historical research on scientific material and philosophical concerns, this paper aims to show how Hegel took active part in the scientific debate of the time, by publicly siding with some strands of contemporaneous natural science against others, as well as how Hegel supports a considered scientific position, by providing it with philosophical justification and foundation, taking issue at the same time with formulations of British Empiricism and German Idealism.

Hegel's introductory discussion of “Reason”(§ C.(AA); Chapter V), which focuses on reason's “Certainty and Truth,” is as important as it isbrief and allusive. Careful consideration reveals that in “Reason” Hegel addresses a much broader array not only of philosophical, but also of historical and natural-scientific views and issues than has been recognized previously. [REVIEW]Cinzia Ferrini - 2009 - In Kenneth R.
