With Dialectics and Reflection Logic: A Systematic Introduction, the long-awaited new major work by Johannes Heinrichs is now available. After more than five decades of philosophical work, the founder of reflection system theory presents the systematic foundation of his entire thought.

A Book That Could Make Philosophical History

This work is more than just another publication in Heinrichs’ extensive oeuvre. It is the key text — both an introduction for newcomers and a systematic summation for those already familiar with his thinking.

Heinrichs demonstrates how the four-stage structure of reflection (Intention — Self-reflection — Communication — Meta-reflection) can be understood not only as a philosophical principle but as a universal ordering schema, extending from epistemology through social philosophy to democratic theory.

Also in German

The work is available simultaneously in German and English. Thus, Heinrichs’ reflection philosophy becomes accessible to an international audience in its full systematic depth for the first time.

Available as E-Book:

• Dialectics and Reflection Logic (English)
• Dialektik und Reflexionslogik (German)

For an Introduction

Those who want an overview of Heinrichs’ complete works are recommended Kai Froeb’s study The Sublation from Hegel to Heinrichs, which systematically explores all important works and shows the connections between Hegel’s dialectics and Heinrichs’ reflection logic.
