The Science of Logic

Introduction xiii
of the 1805/06 winter term, after which time he left the city. We shall
return to these lecture courses in due course. Despite Hegel’s repeated
announcements during this Jena period of a forthcoming book on the
subject,3 his published work on logic came considerably later. The first
part of what was announced as the first volume of a planned two-volume
Science of Logic4 was published only in 1812, when Hegel was professor
and rector at a gymnasium in Nurnberg. The second part of the same ¨
volume came the year after, in 1813.
5 Both parts went under the subtitle of
Objective Logic, and the second carried the further subtitle “The Doctrine
of Essence.” The announced second volume was finally published in 1816,
still in Nurnberg, in one part and with the subtitle “The Doctrine of ¨
the Concept.”6 Another much-abbreviated Science of Logic appeared in
1817, as the first part of an Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in
Outline7 which Hegel, who in the meantime (1816) had been appointed as
professor at the university in Heidelberg, produced as the textbook for his
lecture courses. He published a second, heavily revised edition of this same
work in 1827, and yet a third, with minor revisions, in 1830.
8 These two
last editions of the Encyclopedia were still published in Heidelberg, even
though by that time Hegel had long since moved to Berlin. In this city
he had continued to lecture on the subject of logic.9 We know, moreover,
that in 1826 he had begun to give some thought to a new edition of the
original Nurnberg work, ¨ 10 and in fact, in January of 1831, he submitted to
the publishers a heavily revised version of Part I of Volume One of that
first Science of Logic, that is, the part published in 1812. This new version,
now entitled “The Doctrine of Being,” came out in print the year after,
3 He first promised a textbook on the subject in connection with his announcement of a lecture
course on Logic and Metaphysics for the summer term of 1802: “secundum librum sub eodem titulo
proditurum.” GW 7, 361. He repeated the promise in the announcement for the winter of 1802. 4 Wissenschaft der Logik, erster Band, Die objektive Logik (Nurnberg, ¨ 1812). GW 11. This is the
