Nigel Tubbs takes the history of Western philosophy to be the
search for first principles. Arguing that neo-Platonic logic,
fundamentally misunderstanding the negative, posited
philosophical thought as error. Kant and Hegel later re-educated
the modern mind about negation in logic, transforming the way
modern philosophy contests first principles. NIGEL TUBBS teaches
at the University of Winchester, England,UK. He is currently
setting up a programme of studies in Modern Liberal Arts. His
publications include Philosophy's Higher Education (2004),
Philosophy of the Teacher (2005), and Education in Hegel (2008).
