Hegel: The Science of Logic - Enriched edition Exploring the Essence of Reality: A Deep Dive into Hegelian Metaphysics and Dialectics

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Summary

In "Hegel: The Science of Logic," Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel presents a profound exploration of the structure of thought itself, intricately weaving together metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language. Hegel's literary style is densely packed yet precise, characterized by his dialectical method, which reveals how contradictions play a central role in the development of ideas. This monumental work, written in the early 19th century, situates itself within the German Idealist tradition, engaging critically with predecessors such as Kant and Fichte, while seeking to unify and advance their philosophical inquiries through a unique and systematic approach to logic as a dynamic and evolving process. Hegel, a pivotal figure in German philosophy, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous sociopolitical climate of his time, including the Enlightenment and the aftermath of the French Revolution. His background in theology and his experiences as a professor further shaped his philosophical trajectory, leading him to view logic not merely as a tool for reasoning but as a fundamental component of reality itself. This context elucidates his desire to reconcile the conceptual with the real, making his work a cornerstone in the study of philosophy. Readers seeking to deepen their understanding of the complexities of logic and thought will find "The Science of Logic" indispensable. Hegel's meticulous exposition challenges passive engagement and invites thoughtful reflection, encouraging readers to grapple with the urgent questions surrounding the nature of reality and consciousness. This book is essential for anyone aiming to navigate the intricate pathways of philosophical inquiry.

When I Passed the Statue of...

Harry Edward

The lost memoir of Britain's first Black Olympic medal winner—and the America he discovered 
 
 
  
After winning Olympic medals for Britain in 1920, Harry Edward (1898–1973) decided to try his luck in America. The country he found was full of thrilling opportunity and pervasive racism. 
 
 
  
Immensely capable and energetic, Harry rubbed shoulders with kings and presidents, was influential in the revival of Black theatre during the Harlem Renaissance, and became a passionate humanitarian and advocate for child welfare. He was present at some of the twentieth century's most significant moments, worked alongside W. E. B. Du Bois and Orson Welles, and witnessed two world wars and the civil rights movement. Yet he was frustrated at almost every turn. 
 
 
  
Toward the end of his life he set down his story, crafting this memoir of athletics and activism, race and racism on both sides of the Atlantic. His manuscript went unpublished until now. This is the deeply engaging tale of Edward's life—and a moving testament to his drive to form a better world.

Phoenicians - History of the...

Kelly Mass

The term "Phoenicians" describes the people living in Phoenicia, a sometimes-forgotten civilization that was age-old and remarkable. Let's check out the tradition, the history, and the specifics of Phoenicia. 
Phoenicia was a thalassocratic (a state with mostly maritime worlds) society that thrived in the eastern Mediterranean's Levant area, mainly in modern-day Lebanon. It was fixated the coast of Lebanon, with some seaside parts of modern-day Syria and Galilee included for good procedure, varying as far north as Arwad and as far south as Acre and perhaps Gaza. Phoenician civilization stretched the Mediterranean from Cyprus to the Iberian Peninsula between 1100 and 200 BC. 
The Phoenicians were a Semitic-speaking people who appeared in the Levant roughly 3000 BC and spoke a Semitic language. 
In this book, you will learn more about this ancient civilization.

I'll Just Be Five More Minutes -...

Emily Farris

A hilariously-honest, heartwarming essay collection about life, love, and discovering you have ADHD at age 35   Despite being a published writer with a family, a gaggle of internet fans, and (most shockingly) a mortgage, Emily Farris could never get her sh*t together. As she saw it, disorganization was one of her countless character flaws—that is until she was diagnosed with ADHD at age 35. Like many girls who go undiagnosed, Emily grew up internalizing criticisms about her impulsivity and lack of follow-through. She held onto that shame as she tried (and often failed) to fit into a world designed for neurotypical brains.  I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is a personal essay collection of laugh-out-loud-funny, tear-jerking, and at times cringey true stories of Emily's experiences as a neurodivergent woman. With the newfound knowledge of her ADHD, Emily candidly reexamines her complicated relationships (including one with a celebrity stalker), her money problems, the years she spent unknowingly self-medicating, and her hyperfixations (two words: decorative baskets).    A memoir-in-essays both entertaining and enlightening, I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is for people with ADHD, as well as those who know and love them. This is a powerful collection of deeply relatable, wide-ranging stories about a woman's right to control her own body, about overwhelm and oversharing, about drinking too much and sleeping too little, and about being misunderstood by the people closest to you. At its heart, I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes is about not quite fitting in and not really understanding why—something we’ve all felt whether we're neurodivergent or not.

Codependency - Why do you...

David Lawson PhD

Are you having trouble fostering healthy relationships?
Are you stressed, feeling drained and exhausted from giving too much in your relationships?
Do you know who you are? What you need? What you like? Or do you feel that you need to be validated and approved by a partner (or any other person) to feel good about yourself?
Codependency is notoriously difficult to combat because there is no precise definition of the disorder. The signs and symptoms also differ for everyone. It is often mistaken for narcissism or other personality disorders that do not reflect the true situation.
People who suffer from this disorder tend to mask what they really feel. At other times, they are not even aware of what they are doing. This only serves to cloud the overall picture by delaying positive interventions, which, sometimes will never come.
I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THIS BOOK IF:
• You are not aware of how you truly feel.
• You have difficulty identifying your feelings.
• You have difficulty expressing your feelings.
• You tend to minimize, modify or even deny the reality of what you feel.
• You tend to worry and/or fear how others may respond to how you feel.
• You give power over your feelings to others.
Act now before it's too late
If a codependent denies his destructive behavior, he can pass it on to his children. If the child does not realise the behavioural model of the parents, and its negative impact, it will generate the same patterns as an adult. An endless cycle can be established.
Commit to breaking this cycle and regain control of your life.
