Heibert's Introductory Lecture to the Logic Course and Other Texts

This volume features one of Johan Ludvig Heiberg's very best philosophical works, the Introductory Lecture to the Logic Course, which was originally given as a lecture in 1834 and then published in 1835. This work is one of the clearest statements of Heiberg's Hegelian idealism. Here he makes a case for the primacy of philosophy over, for example, religion or the natural sciences by appealing to a theory of categories. Following Hegel's model, Heiberg places philosophical knowing higher than religious knowing.
