Form, Formality, Formalism in Hegel’s Dialectic-Speculative Logic

Abstract

This essay addresses the general systematic question underlying any project of ‘formalization’ of Hegel’s dialectic-speculative logic, namely, the question concerning the peculiar concept of logical ‘form’ and the connected type of ‘formalism’ at stake in a logic that is, programmatically and innovatively within the historical tradition, a ‘dialectic-speculative’ logic.
