Synopsis

Hegel's First Principle: An Exposition of Comprehension and Idea (1869) is a philosophical work by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a German philosopher widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the development of Western philosophy. The book explores Hegel's first principle, which is the idea that the universe is fundamentally comprehensible and that this comprehension is the foundation of all knowledge. Hegel argues that the universe is not a chaotic and meaningless collection of disparate elements, but rather a coherent and interconnected whole that can be understood through the use of reason. He contends that this understanding is essential for the development of human knowledge and that it is the basis of all scientific inquiry. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a general overview of Hegel's philosophy and his ideas about the nature of reality, knowledge, and understanding. The second part delves deeper into his first principle and examines its implications for various areas of human knowledge, including physics, biology, psychology, and ethics. Hegel's First Principle is a challenging and complex work that requires a solid understanding of Hegelian philosophy and the history of Western thought. It is considered an important contribution to the field of philosophy and is widely studied and debated by scholars and students of philosophy.And Accompanied With An Introduction And Explanatory Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
