Giorgi Lebanidze teaches philosophy at Fordham University and Marist College.

Chapter 2: Determinations of Reflection and Generation of Conceptual Content
Chapter 3: Hegel Theory of the Concept and its Kantian Origins
Chapter 4: The Moments of the Concept

Giorgi Lebanidze’s book is a welcome contribution to the literature on Hegel’s logic and metaphysics. It provides a well-grounded account of the ontologico-metaphysical relevance of Hegel’s thought, and locates it within a lucid reconstruction of recent debates.
— Journal of the History of Philosophy
Much has been written in the last few years about the debate between epistemological and metaphysical interpretations of Hegel. That debate is too often framed by the assumption that the latter must view Hegel’s philosophical project as returning to some sort of pre-critical philosophical agenda. Lebanidze argues persuasively for an important corrective to that assumption, drawing both on a close reading of Hegel’s treatment of the Syllogism in the Science of Logic and a useful discussion of current work by Pippin, Brandom, McDowell, Horstmann, Bowman and Stern, among others. — Allen Speight, Boston University
