The Science of Logic is framed here as a "Counter-Enlightenment" foundational text. Whereas the Enlightenment is understood to be instantiated by the "light of reason" dispelling the "surrounding darkness," the Counter-Enlightenment here recognises the negativity at the core of reason itself, and the condition of possibility for its truth. In Hegel's Science of Logic this truth is recognised from the first, by positing that being-nothing are fundamentally a unity, and cannot be separated from one another, in order to engage a true becoming. Daniel Garner of O.G. Rose takes us through various themes of post-Hegelian philosophy, including the relation of works of Bergson and Whitehead to modern physics, various streams of thought that seek to undermine a totalising reason (e.g. Maurice Blondel, Benjamin Fondane, Giambattista Vico), the other turn of of post-modernism which escapes negativity by means of spurious infinity or essential difference (most evident in the works of Deleuze), the limits of a focus on phenomenology and common life without understanding logic as it relates to contemporary politics and economics, the difference between hard objectivity (stemming from Aristotle) and an objectivity inclusive of the subject, the importance of psychoanalysis and its logic of the subject as it relates to difference, and many other important themes.
