This comprehensive volume delves into the intricate relationship between logic, epistemology, and ontology in Hegel's dialectic, shedding light on their unity and the interconnectedness among them. By examining the interplay between these three domains, the book unveils the internal workings of Hegel's dialectic as well as the profound connection and divergence between his philosophical thought and that of Marx. As the concluding volume in a three-part series, this book offers a profound exploration of Hegel's dialectic, presenting it as a harmonious synthesis of three distinct yet interrelated disciplines.

As logic, it transcends language and assumes the role of epistemology, surpassing the realm of theory and becoming ontology. Conversely, as epistemology, it surpasses the confines of theory and emerges as ontology, transcending the existing world and embodying the essence of logic. Thus, Hegel's dialectic reveals itself as a revolutionary advancement in the history of Western philosophy, encompassing the development of each of these three fields.

One of the most significant outcomes of this analysis is the revelation of the principle of the agreement of logic with history, which is expressed through Hegel's dialectic. This principle becomes a valuable source of inspiration for Marx's historical materialism, providing a philosophical framework for understanding the evolution of society and the struggle between different social classes.

A deeper understanding of Hegel's philosophy, in turn, enhances our comprehension of Marxism, as Hegel's dialectic forms the foundation of Marx's theoretical framework. By exploring the interconnectedness between these two philosophical systems, scholars and students of Hegel's and Marx's philosophy, German classical philosophy, and Western philosophy will find this title to be a valuable resource for their studies.
