Among the many scandalous features of Hegel’s table, or system, of logical categories, we would nowadays want, I think, to accord high rank to this, that he finds a place for the concept life on it. Hegel is of course not blind to the counter-intuitive character of his teaching on this point. In the so-called ‘Greater Logic’, the chapter headed ‘Life’ begins with the formulation of an objection to any specifically logical treatment of the notion. Something in the objection, at least, might still find favour today
