This volume presents a wide range of examples using Hegel's 'objective dialectic' as an interpretive key for understanding his philosophical work. It explores the potential of a strictly dialectical approach to central themes in Hegel's logic, philosophy of nature, and philosophy of spirit.

The volume argues for taking contradiction seriously in Hegel's philosophy, understanding it in strictly theoretical terms that defy traditional conceptions of logic and ontology. The contributors demonstrate how Hegel's distinctive logical-metaphysical method, particularly his concept of 'dialectic' and the role of logical contradiction within it, can be applied to logical, epistemological, natural- and social-ontological, psychological, ethical, and political matters. Moving beyond both non-metaphysical readings and earlier ontological interpretations, the volume shows how Hegel's understanding of 'real contradiction' offers a renewed approach to his thematically rich oeuvre and addresses complex post-Kantian philosophical issues.
