Summary

Abstract: In his 1922 dissertation, Jacob Klein engages the logical and historical grounds of Hegel's philosophy. The work is intended as a contribution to historical research, and has its context among those philosophers placing a renewed emphasis on historical categories at the outset of the twentieth century. Yet Klein's aim is not to give an historicist explanation of Hegel's system, a genetic account or additive construction of its logical structure. Rather, Klein intends to eschew historicist interpretations by underscoring the mutual interdependency of genesis and ideality in Hegel. Klein's approach is to treat Hegel's thought as a phenomenon in its own right, moving concentrically inward toward its core by delineating and following Hegel's own movements.

Key words: Hegel, genesis, history, logic, ideality, system.

“What is then important is to know, within the glimmering of the temporal and transitory, the substance that is immanent and the eternal that is present. For the rational—which is synonymous with the idea in that in its actuality it enters into outer, worldly being—emerges in an infinite wealth of forms, appearances and configurations, and clothes its core with the motley rind within which consciousness is initially housed.” PR, Preface
