Hegel: The Last Great System (1 of 3)

'Hegel: The Last Great System'. Hegel was a German philosopher, one of the creators of German Idealism. His historicist and idealist account of reality revolutionized European philosophy and was an important precursor to Continental philosophy and Marxism.

Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework, or "system", to account in an integrated and developmental way for the relation of mind and nature, the subject and object of knowledge, and psychology, the state, history, art, religion and philosophy. In particular, he developed a concept of mind or spirit that manifested itself in a set of contradictions and oppositions that it ultimately integrated and united, without eliminating either pole or reducing one to the other. Examples of such contradictions include those between nature and freedom, and between immanence and transcendence.

Hegel influenced writers of widely varying positions, including both his admirers (Strauss, Bauer, Feuerbach, T. H. Green, Marx, Bradley, Dewey, Sartre, Küng, Kojève, Žižek, Brandom) and his detractors (Schelling, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Peirce, Popper, Russell, Heidegger). His most influential conceptions are of speculative logic or "dialectic", "absolute idealism", "Spirit", negativity, sublation (Aufhebung in German), the "Master/Slave" dialectic, "ethical life" and the importance of history.

Marx would probably approve of this scene:

Jehovah: "I am alone, I never fathered nobody."

JC: "Yes you did, Daddy."

Mithra: "I am the Man, not you two neutrons."

Zeus: "Excuse Me?!"

Hegel believed that civil rights where derived from the state and that the people should subject themselves to the states will. In fact the evolution of the state was the manifestation of God on earth. (Sutton, Anthony C.; America's Secret Establishment)

I'm with the forefathers... We the People of the United States in order to form a more perfect union... establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Rights come FROM the people not the state. We have the power!

@PhildenOuden Marx was a Materialist not an Idealist

@PhildenOuden You have to remember that Marx was largely inspired by Hegel himself. I would say that it is safe to say that Marx in a sense took Hegel's broad ideas and coined them down to practical applications. Certainly I'm not trying to take credit away from Marx since he added a lot of ideas of his own. Almost reminds me of Socrates and Plato.

"The greatest of the German idealists"? anyone ever heard of Marx? I think Marx's ideas were just a bit more practiced and left more of a mark in the world...maybe, but hey, what do I know?...
