  • Hegel is full of crap as a system for anyone rational, it assumes its foundations, creates it's own circular logic and counts on articifical devices that have no basis in "reality" - history is a concept, not a natural force, change is preception and not purposeful in any way, no goals exist and change and goals are not co-dependent... his philosophy is great if you want to be a right/left collectivist and reject the ideal of the individual, which is again complete crap.

  • Interesting parallels with Freud and Lacan.

  • @olllHashedFetish I agree. Hegelians secularized Hegel to suit their agenda. Even Marx did this to apply to economic and sociological concerns. But the way I understand it, "pure Hegel" has none of this. While Hegel is a Christian thinker, the genesis bit is quite far-fetched.

  • hegel idealism are many distiunguished, we thing how he can influenced between freedom, comunism, facism and atheism also materialism.

    feurbach say, form theologi to antropologi, nietszhe say, god is death!!, and west people are closely to ateist and materialist, i'm who believed in God absolutely rejected atheism....

  • Great lecture. Thanks so much for posting!

  • Does anyone else think pulling in the Christian genesis story is a bit unneeded.

    Everyone has interpreted Hegel their own way, but what I got out of Hegel's Philosophy of History was:

    No Objects-In-Themselves.

    Humans are part of nature, here to understand and transform it. We create the meaning.

    Mind as meaning itself. Spirit/Mind evolve through conflict.

    The development consciousness of freedom, is central to the process of history, and the realization of freedom is the ultimate goal.

  • Absolutely fascinating - I greatly appreciate your efforts. Hegel was indeed an extraordinary man. Many thanks!
