Overview

This book offers an original reading of Hegel's metaphysics, which provides new insights into his Logic and Philosophy of Nature , and casts fresh light on the distinction between absolute and subjective idealism: Hegel's holistic treatment of the structure of things marks the break between subjective and absolute idealism, and challenges the atomistic and reductionist assumptions lying behind much recent ontology. The importance of Hegel's account is highlighted by contrasting it with that of his great predecessor, Immanuel Kant. Written lucidly and with a strong argumentative structure, Hegel, Kant and the Structure of the Object will be of value to all those interested in Kantian and post-Kantian German idealism, as well as those concerned with the more general philosophical questions of holism, relations and idealism.
