Running at the moment, but just quickly: more than happy for you to post questions and add another perspective on what’s going on from your readings – among other things, my reading is probably overdetermined a bit from social theoretic concerns, which helps with visualising some things, but not so much with others… I was just last night reading through the section on Appearance and, while it’s probably slightly clearer than the pass through the equivalent material in the Phenomenology of Spirit, I still find it very difficult to grasp the “necessity” of some of the moves (as in, the basic “fractal” of the argument is clear enough to me – if nothing else, that gets beaten into you after a while… ;-P – but not why certain connections are made in the specific order that they are…). But yes, please jump in whenever.

Running!

and happy new year. I look forward to seeing what you come up with; I managed to make my way through the Encyclopaedia Logic over the summer, and am currently having a breather before squaring up to the S of L – but I’ll certainly be interested in seeing your comments.

…and I rather liked your exposition in the text above. I’ve found Houlgate’s The Opening of Hegel’s Logic enormously helpful in clarifying Hegel’s strange ‘presuppositionless’ starting point; what do you make of his stuff?

Also, would it be possible to throw in a couple of questions based on my own reading of the Encyclopaedia Logic? Not that I’m in any way eager to go back to those bastard syllogisms, but I’d be interested to run a few things past you.

Cheers

Tom
