Hegel on Possibility: Dialectics, Contradiction, and Modality

Bloomsbury Academic, February 2020

This book offers a systematic account of Hegel’s theory of possibility, examining how dialectics, contradiction, and modal logic intersect across the Science of Logic. It argues that Hegel’s conception of possibility is irreducibly dynamic, grounded in the movement of thought itself rather than in static formal categories.
