Abstract

In this paper, we interpret a 19th century diagram, which is meant to visualise G.W.F. Hegel’s entire method of the Science of Logic on the basis of bitwise operations. For the interpretation of the diagram we use a binary numeral system, and discuss whether the anti-Hegelian argument associated with it is valid or not. The reinterpretation is intended to make more precise rules of construction, a stricter binary code and a review of strengths and weaknesses of the critique.
