Peter Singer on Hegel and Marx: Section 2

Sorry for the shaky video; the original tape had severe interlacing problems, this is the best I could fix it.

Hegel and Marx

In this program, contemporary philosopher Peter Singer discusses rational Hegelian philosophy, and the historicism and organicism at its root. Hegel's theories of absolute idealism and of a dialectic, emphasize history in their development of a model of reality. His concept of this reality as ultimately spiritual, and of philosophy as organic and constantly changing, is examined. The theories of Karl Marx are discussed as essentially Hegelian, but a practical economic spin.

I can't believe that this video with Peter Singer, an actual intellectual and philosopher, has way less hits than youtube bloggers that don't have any idea what they're talking about or at best are only regurgitating ideas of other people. This is so sad!

Hey, compare the beginning of this video with this:

“Anthony Quinton on Spinoza and Leibniz: Section 2”

watch?v=MHaHCxsMy28

Have you noticed that both of these videos begin with the same framing of Magge saying the same thing and making the exact same gesture? Is this only a coincidence?! I don’t know ;)

I really love the way he says “Total Reality”. I hope to see this occurring more often on the show.

The special sort of vaguely God-like freedom that Hegel's twisted soul anticipated is one that is to be enjoyed by the occasional amoral superman at the expense of the lowly unwashed masses. Hegel thus became identified with Marx because his brand of egomania denied any principle potentially larger than his own self. This, of course, was the wet dream of the oligarchs, and just they way they think. He bashed Socrates purely out of spite for the humility that attends real wisdom and real courage.

@krijassnica You can. I download university lectures and discussions between intellectuals, and then save them on my phone. Whenever I have to make a tedious journey on the bus, train or on foot, I listen to lectures, and thus I'm no longer bored!

[krijassnica]

walking alone for 3-4 hours is so boring. if only i could take talks like this with me :(

@JenNessis88 but is pride not as "bad" as ignorance?

[SwordInAir]

Schopenhauer over Hegel anyday
