Hegel's most systematic work, developing the inner logic of thought and being from the most minimal starting point — pure, indeterminate Being — through a relentless dialectical movement in which every category generates its opposite and is resolved in a higher unity. The Science of Logic contains Hegel's mature metaphysics: the claim that the categories of thought are identical with the structure of reality, and that both culminate in the self-knowing Concept. Marx called it "the algebra of revolution"; it remains the most thorough attempt in modern philosophy to think the unity of logic and ontology.
