Abstract

If we take a preliminary look at the second major work of Hegel’s maturity, namely the Science of Logic, which he published after the Phenomenology, we note that in Hegel’s usage the word life has three different meanings, each of which is related to one of the three parts into which he subdivided his masterpiece, the Encyclopaedia. We thus have a “logical life” that can be distinguished from “natural life” and “life inasmuch as it is united with the spirit”.1
