Der sich begreifende Begriff. Nota sui significati di concetto nella Scienza della logica di Hegel e la sua genesi

Abstract

International debate on Hegel’s notion of the ‘conceptual’ does not often grow out of a clear understanding of what Hegel actually means with Begriff. This essay provides a lexical and theoretical map of this notion in the Science of logic, with a distinct focus on genesis and development of the Doctrine of the Concept. Initially, attention is given to specific implementations of the term in Hegel’s early writings. I will thus provide details about crucial problems on function and use of the concepts introduced by Kant’s transcendental logic.
