La Scienza della logica e il linguaggio

Abstract

A peculiar argument against the Science of Logic has been exposed by Feuerbach in Zur Kritik der Hegelschen Philosophie. According to him Hegel’s work, presenting only the two moments of objectivity and subjectivity, does not deal with language, which is essentially intersubjectivity. Purpose of this paper is showing how it can rather play a role inside the science of pure thought neither dismissing its representative nature nor presenting itself as a mere dialectical moment among others. Its nature would indeed be an issue for the system, as Hegel is aware, (it is pale clear in the preface to the Science of Logic, where the problem of a representational exposition of pure categories is addressed) if language were nothing more than a representation, but it has got a divine nature too in so far it is able to negate itself as exteriority, i.e. representation.
