This paper studies the Hegelian concept of Grund as presented in Hegel’s texts on logic. The aim of the study is twofold: to propose a characterization of the Hegelian concept of Grund, and to study, on a specific case, the way in which Hegel’s logic acts as a critique of both metaphysics and its Kantian critique. In order to do so, we rely not only on Hegel’s published texts (the Science of Logic and the Encyclopedia) but also on the recently published and still little exploited students’ notebooks of the Lectures on Logic.
