Synopsis

Hegel's First Principle: An Exposition of Comprehension and Idea is a book written by the renowned German philosopher, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and was first published in 1869. The book is an exposition of Hegel's philosophical ideas on the concept of comprehension and idea, which are central to his philosophical system.Hegel's First Principle is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the concept of comprehension, which Hegel defines as the process of understanding and grasping the essential nature of something. Hegel argues that comprehension is not a passive process but an active one that involves the synthesis of various elements into a unified whole. He also discusses the role of language and concepts in the process of comprehension.The second part of the book deals with the concept of idea, which Hegel defines as the ultimate reality that underlies all things. Hegel argues that the idea is not a static or abstract concept but a dynamic and evolving one that is constantly changing and developing. He also discusses the relationship between the idea and the individual, society, and history.Throughout the book, Hegel draws on his extensive knowledge of philosophy, history, and culture to provide a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the concepts of comprehension and idea. His writing style is dense and complex, but also highly engaging and thought-provoking.Hegel's First Principle is a seminal work in the history of philosophy and is widely regarded as one of Hegel's most important works. It continues to be studied and debated by philosophers and scholars around the world.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.
