Hegel's work titled Science of Logic is not a classical logic book, but a giant collection that includes Hegel's holistic approach to philosophical problems. The work (1812-1816), published in three separate parts (in fact, the first two form a whole) after the Phenomenology of Spirit, presents a movement from Being to the Essence that reflects it, and from there to subjectivity as a Concept, with tight inferences, without touching upon historical facts like the first book. In the two talks he will give, Ahmet Soysal will address this movement of the work in its basic articulations, and without entering into any kind of idealism/materialism, rationalism/irrationalism, conceptual/vital, system/anti-system discussions, aiming to investigate its possible meaning for today. In this first talk, he will touch upon the movement from Being to Essence, and the power with which Hegel addresses the fundamental problematic of Western metaphysics history, the problematic of Being.
