The Relationship between God and Creation in Hegel’s Logic and Philosophy of Nature

What is it about?

This article examines G.W.F. Hegel's doctrine of creation on the basis of his Logic and Philosophy of Nature. It engages with some contemporary theological scholarship on Hegel to argue that his Logical philosophy cannot be reduced to a description of any immanence, but rather that it ineluctably points towards transcendence. Furthermore, it critically interrogates and qualifies some simplistic opinions about Hegel's theology, for example that he held a doctrine of divine incompleteness before creation.
