F. Hegel’s Science of Logic. The work situates Hegel and the Science of Logic amid polarized receptions, ranging from accusations of bombast and mystification to acclaim as a foundational and unparalleled metaphysical achievement. The introduction emphasizes the widespread perception that Hegel’s logic is simultaneously extraordinarily influential and difficult to access, noting its near-universal reputation as one of his most challenging texts.","The Doctrine of Being in Hegel’s Science of Logic  \nA Critical Commentary  \nMEHMET TABAK  \nThe Doctrine of Being in Hegel’s Science of Logic  \nMehmet Tabak  \nThe Doctrine of Being in Hegel’s Science of Logic  \nA Critical Commentary  \nMehmet Tabak  \nNew York University  \nNew York, NY USA  \nISBN 978-3-319-55937-7 ISBN 978-3-319-55938-4 (eBook)  \nDOI 10. 1007/978-3-319-55938-4  \nLibrary of Congress Control Number: 2017936448  \n© The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017  \nThis work is subject to copyright.

F. Hegel (1770–1831) is one of the most influential philosophers in the history of philosophy. However, his influence has not always been positive. As one author puts it,“Hegel is one of the most lionized and most vilified philosophers.”1 His Science of Logic (hereafter SL), which is rightly regarded as the “keystone” of his philosophy,2 has met the same fate. It is vilified by some as a “bombastic and mystifying cant,”as bereft of “rational argument.”3 It is lionized by others as “the most important work on metaphysics in history,”4 or even “a great and truly unparalleled masterpiece of philosophy.”5  \nHowever, there exists a general consensus on Hegel’s philosophy.“In the realm of great philosophy,” writes Theodor Adorno,“Hegel is no doubt the only one with whom at times one literally does not know and cannot conclusively determine what is being talked about.”6 As Robert B. Pippin notes,“Hegel seems to be in the impossible position of being both extraordinarily influential and almost completely inaccessible.” In other words, “it is widely believed that no one knows what he is talking about.”7 This assessment is especially applicable to SL. In this regard, Justus Hartnack informs us that “Science of Logic is by almost universal consent regarded as his most difficult work.”8 Consequently, as Stephen Houlgate notes, SL is “one Hegelian text that still languishes in particular obscurity … [F] or most people today, and even for many Hegelians, the Logic remains both figuratively and literally a  \n© The Author(s) 2017  \nM.
