About the book
"Jeffrey Reid's Real Words is an examination of Hegel's notion of scientific language (i.e., the language of his system) and its implications for a type of discourse that is itself true objectivity. Hegel sees scientific logos as real, actual, and true, where there is no distance between signifier and signified and where the word is the effective thing. The words of Hegel's system are meant to be objective: they 'take place' in the world; they are not the arbitrary constructions of the individual philosopher. This concept of language is only possible through the idea of content, real words that actually embody the truth of nature, history, law, art, and philosophy itself."--Jacket.
