Table of ContentsForeword Richard Dien Winfield Introduction Part I: The Problem of Absolute Being 1. The Problem of Nihilism in Early German Idealism 2. The Problem of Emanation in Neo-Platonism 3. Dual Principles of Truth and the Problem of Instantiation 4. The Logic of the Finite Concept 5. The Problem of the Missing Difference and Absolute Empiricism 6. The Problem of Onto-Theology 7. From the the Third Man Regress to Absolute Dialetheism Part II: Hegel’s Absolute Dialetheism 8. Hegel’s Logic of the Concept: The Concept of Self-Particularization 9. Relative Dialetheism: The No-World View 10. Hegel’s Solution to the Problem of Absolute Knowledge 11. Hegel’s Ontological Argument: The Existence of the Absolute 12. Forms of Ideality in Hegel’s Logic: Being, Essence, and Concept 13. The Logic of Singularity 14. Relativizing the Absolute: Empiricism, Judgment, and Inference 15. The Singular AbsoluteReviewsHegel stands out for having expressly linked the logic of singularity with the autonomy of thought that can liberate reason from the given and enable philosophy to be self-determining and fully self-responsible. Few subsequent commentators on Hegel's work have focused on this connection, obscuring how Hegel develops a foundation free metaphysics in which the logic of freedom coincides with the logic of the concept. Gregory Moss' Hegel's Foundation Free Metaphysics is an ambitious exception to this neglect. Moss offers us a comprehensive enlightening journey through the seminal turning points in the history of Western Philosophy, exposing how the recurring efforts to overcome dogmatic presuppositions has dovetailed with the attempts to unravel the relation between the universal and the singular. -- Richard Dien Winfield, University of Georgia One does not have to leaf through the pages of Hegel's Logic at great length to see that Hegel regularly appears to endorse explicit contradictions. Of course, most commentators, inspired by an Aristotle-derived horror contradictionis, have had to maintain that he did not mean these things literally, for fear of making him appear irrational. Contemporary dialetheism has shown that endorsing contradictions is not the bogey-man that it has been cracked up to be. Moss' book is the first commentary on Hegel's metaphysics which draws on developments in contemporary dialetheism. As such, it shows us Hegel in a very new and-it seems to me-much more authentic light. -- Graham Priest, CUNY Gradate Center and the University of Melbourne Gregory Moss offers us a challenging and mature reflection on the metaphysical implications of Hegel's claim to offer a foundation-free philosophy. The seriousness of its overall argument asks for our attentive consideration of its praiseworthy illumination of Hegel's intentions. The book is written with impressive intelligence, wide ranging reference and in a thoughtful manner that philosophically engages the reader. Arguing against the evacuation of Hegel's thought of metaphysical significance, Gregory Moss invites us to take seriously dimensions of that thought that are underplayed by, or written out of, recent influential commentary in Anglo-American treatments of Hegel. This book takes leave of the beige Hegelianism that perhaps has become too common. Very warmly recommended. -- William Desmond, David Cook Chair in Philosophy, Villanova University, USA One does not have to leaf through the pages of Hegel's Logic at great length to see that Hegel regularly appears to endorse explicit contradictions.
