Introduction

Abstract

This book explains in pictographic terms precisely how Hegel’s monumental Science of Logic (SL) functions – one step at a time. As it now stands, few have ever mastered the SL since it was published between 1812 and 1816² and revised in 1831.³ In the anglophone world, that number is small indeed. Yet it is Hegel’s major work against which all his other, more accessible work must be read.⁴ Unfortunately, the SL is the single densest book ever published. No one who has peeked under its covers would dare dispute this claim. Yet, thanks to the pictures I will draw, the secrets of the SL will yield themselves forth.
