Thinking in the wake of Hegel, although trying to think beyond his grasp, this work is a poetic and philosophical...

Description
Opposing a long-standing orthodoxy of the Western philosophical tradition running from ancient Greek thought until the late nineteenth century, Frege argued that psychological laws of thought--those that explicate how we in fact think--must be distinguished from logical laws of thought--those that formulate and impose rational requirements on thinking.
