L’autoriferimento della negazione nella logica hegeliana

Abstract

In this article I will shed light on some features of Hegel’s notion of negation and on the systematic implications of this features. The article is divided in three parts. In the first part I will highlight the self-referential character of Hegel’s notion of negation; in the second part I will make explicit the function of this self-reference; in the third part I will explain Hegel’s non-standard treatment of the self-reference and of the self-contradictory results that it implies.
