The book explores the intricate relationship between Hegel's phenomenology and logic, revealing a significant shift in French philosophical thought. Hyppolite's analysis marks a departure from the humanistic interpretation of Hegel, paving the way for a wave of anti-Hegelianism in the 1960s. His work reinterprets Hegel's ideas, influencing key figures like Derrida, Deleuze, and Foucault. The first English translation of this previously obscure text is crucial for grasping the evolution of contemporary French philosophy and the emergence of the "philosophy of difference."
