The lecture transcripts of Hegel’s lectures on logic provide a comprehensive view of the historical development of logic, especially the “pre-concept.” In them, Hegel’s logic gains a liveliness and clarity that makes understanding this discipline much easier compared to the Encyclopedia. These lectures are preserved in ten transcripts.
The first volume includes, in addition to the Jena lecture of 1801/02, the lectures Hegel delivered based on the first edition of the Encyclopedia (1817): the Heidelberg lecture of 1817 (transcript by Good), as well as the Berlin lectures from 1823 (Hotho), 1824 (Correvon), 1825 (Kehler), and an anonymous transcript from 1826.
The second volume will contain the lectures Hegel delivered based on the second and third editions of the Encyclopedia (1827 and 1830): the 1828 lecture (Libelt), 1829 (Rolin), and 1831 (Karl Hegel). Another transcript from the same semester by Sigismund Stern does not reach the quality of this transcript and will therefore not be included. Additionally, the second volume will include the “Additions” to Volume 6 of the Collected Works, followed by the Editorial Report and the Notes.
