Conceptual Harmonies [EPUB ebook] 
The Origins and Relevance of Hegel’s Logic

A new reading of Hegel’s Science of Logic through the history of European mathematics.Conceptual Harmonies develops an original account of G. W. F. Hegel s perplexing Science of Logic from a simple insight: philosophical and mathematical thought have shaped each other since classical times. Situating Science of Logic within the rise of modern mathematics, Redding stresses Hegel s attention to Pythagorean ratios, Platonic reason, and Aristotle s geometrically inspired logic. He then explores how later traditions shaped Hegel s world, through both Leibniz and new forms of algebraic geometry. This enlightening reading recovers an overlooked stream in Hegel s philosophy that remains, Redding argues, important for contemporary conceptions of logic.
