The three-volume set delves into Hegel's dialectics, providing fresh perspectives on his philosophical thought by tracing the origins of dialectics and analyzing its logical structure. Central to this exploration is the concept of the "Nous," which is highlighted as fundamental.

In the first volume, the authors delve into two origins of Hegelian dialectics: the linguistic spirit of "Logos" and the existentialist spirit of "Nous." They explore how their binary opposition, division, and unity form the inner tension of Hegel's dialectics, ultimately shaping the history of Western philosophy. The volume also highlights the development of these concepts into various forms of thought.

The second volume focuses on self-negation and the reflective form of dialectics, representing the spirits of "Nous" and "Logos" respectively. It delves into their core functions in terms of subjectivity, free spirit, and practicality. The authors explore how these concepts contribute to Hegel's dialectics and its significance in understanding his philosophical system.

In the final volume, the author defines Hegel's dialectics as a unity of three: logic, epistemology, and ontology. This unification and the interrelation of these three components showcase the internal features of Hegel's dialectics as well as the connections and divergences between Hegel and Marx's philosophical thought. The set appeals to scholars and students interested in Hegel, Marx's philosophy, German classical philosophy, and Western philosophy.
