"The Concept of Contradiction" by Michael Wolff is an in-depth philosophical examination that addresses the complex relationship between Hegel's doctrine of contradiction and the notion of contradiction in logic. Wolff sheds light on a problem that has been discussed since the 19th century and refutes the widespread misunderstanding that Hegel's logic introduces a novel concept of "dialectical" contradictions. Instead, he argues that Hegel does not speak of dialectical contradictions in his works and that engaging with the theory of opposition, particularly in relation to Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, is central to understanding Hegel's Science of Logic. The book offers a detailed analysis of the theory of opposition and its relevance to the logical discussion of contradictions. It is aimed at readers interested in the philosophical foundations of logic and the critical engagement with Hegel's thought.
