[Includes a] diversity of perspectives (Anglo-Saxon, French, German, but also Finnish, Greek, Arabic) which feeds the reflection on the report between logic and effectiveness, especially in the sections that focus on the subjective (G. Frilli, S. McStravick) and objective (A. Kalatzis, C. Jones, M. Bienenstock) mind.

The book discusses a central topic of Hegel’s thought: the speculative relation between reason and actuality. The project involves both scholars connected to the Italian tradition and authors pertaining to other linguistic areas of Hegel studies. The result is a hermeneutical reading in which the logical dimension and the concrete aspects of Hegel’s philosophy are linked in new ways.

Adriano Fabris, Professor of Moral Philosophy, Pisa University, Italy

The essays in this volume provide original perspectives on many disputed questions in Hegel scholarship. Drawing on the Italian speculative hermeneutics approach to Hegel, they provide readings that cross the divide between purely logical and real world interpretations. These readings confirm that Hegel is indeed our contemporary.

Wayne Hudson, Research Professor at Charles Sturt University, Canberra and Adjunct Professor of Humanities, University of Tasmania, Australia

This book offers new critical perspectives on the relationship between the notions of speculation, logic and reality in Hegel’s thought as basis for his philosophical account of nature, history, spirit and human experience. The systematic functions of logic and pure thought are explored in their concrete forms and processual progression from subjective spirit to philosophy of right, society, the notion of habit, the idea of work, art, religion and science. Engaging the relation between the Logic and its realisations, this book shows the internal tension that inhabits Hegel’s philosophy at the intersection of logical (conceptual) speculation and concrete (interpretative) analysis. The investigation of this tension allows for a hermeneutical approach that demystifies the common view of Hegel’s idealism as a form of abstract thought, while allowing for a new assessment of the importance of speculation for a concrete understanding of the world.
