Hegel's Foundation Free Metaphysics: The Logic of Singularity

The book "Hegels Foundation Free Metaphysics" demonstrates that Hegels Doctrine of the Concept can account for the possibility of absolute existence by reading it as a form of Absolute Dialetheism. It offers solutions to metaphysical and epistemic paradoxes, such as nihilism, instantiation, missing difference, absolute empiricism, onto-theology, and the third man regress. By adopting a metaphysical reading of Richard Dien Winfields foundation free epistemology, the book critically engages dominant readings and contemporary debates in Hegel scholarship.

Winner of the 2022 Hegel PD Prize, Contemporary philosophical discourse has delved extensively into the notion of absolute existence. Hegels Foundation Free Metaphysics presents a compelling argument that by interpreting Hegels Doctrine of the Concept within his Science of Logic as a form of Absolute Dialetheism, Hegels logic of the concept can indeed accommodate the possibility of absolute existence. Through a meticulous examination of Hegels concept of self-referential universality in his Science of Logic, Moss unravels how Hegels notion of singularity is specifically crafted to address a multitude of metaphysical and epistemic paradoxes that plague this problematic realm. He illustrates how Hegels revolutionary account of universality, particularity, and singularity provides solutions to six critical issues that have plagued the history of Western philosophy: the problem of nihilism, the problem of instantiation, the problem of the missing difference, the problem of absolute empiricism, the problem of onto-theology, and the third man regress. Moss demonstrates that Hegels affirmation and development of a revised ontological argument for Gods existence is meticulously designed to establish the necessity of absolute existence. By adopting a metaphysical reading of Richard Dien Winfields foundation free epistemology, Moss critically engages with prevailing interpretations and contemporary debates within Hegel scholarship. Hegels Foundation Free Metaphysics is a valuable resource for scholars interested in Hegel, German Idealism, 19th- and 20th-century European philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, and contemporary European thought.
