Hegel: a Mystic Man ? Do you agree with @"Wayfarer" in his comment: "I think it is possible to identify aspects the Hegelian 'absolute' with both the ...
Back to Schopenhauer. The personal animosity is clear but how far apart were they in their thoughts about introspection and the importance of self-con...
Yes, I know. My lingua-in-maxillam response was meant for SophistiCat who was clearly impressed. Quite rightly so. Understood. High School Foreign Ass...
But, but...lift doors can still look or function like a wall, when closed. There needs to be a button, a knob or a key to open any such 'wall'. How so...
Fuck, fuck, fuckety, fuck. Bugger. We are completely and utterly fucked :sad: :fear: :groan: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/18/mr-...
What are the chances of Miller's hope that: 'MPs of all parties must summon the courage to hold an overweening executive to account and do what is rig...
The current state of affairs ? What is at stake ? Gina Miller's take: 'Success in a general election would allow the prime minister to experiment with...
Hah. That's nothing. Try translating prescribed Latin texts for a Higher qualification. https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/67252.html Good call. You wouldn't ...
No, nein- that's not right, richtig. Contributes to narrow-minded Brexiteernicity :naughty: I love German too. 'Ausgezeichnet' is a favourite of mine....
Afraid to say I never listened to him before. But now I have. Thanks :sparkle: Bryan Magee and Peter Singer on 'Hegel and Marx'. 43 mins. https://yout...
Yes, I think the question is - what kind of a philosopher. And what more besides... Schopenhauer had a personal animosity towards him. Illustrated in ...
Surprised at being picked out in this way. Fiction as 'cheating at reading' ?! What on earth ? Reading fiction is where I began. Children's Bible stor...
Yeah, true enough. So, this idiot picked it up through a particular desire to find out more about Hegel. It caught my eye, as intended. A first senten...
What or who is your idea of a good philosopher ? Or even that boring old question of 'What is a philosopher ?' :yawn: Why would anyone say Hegel is no...
Thoughts and questions from a very different Magee. RIP. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/6404/rip-bryan-magee Bryan Magee and Peter Singer o...
Trying to avoid a total sidetrack here, I had thought to start a new thread entitled ' Hegel is not a philosopher !' ( using Magee's quote ) * However...
Indeed. And that is a timely reminder to return to the Preface. The alternative perspectives and interpretations are fascinating. To be followed up ou...
I think this fascinating. Yet again, I am tempted beyond the Preface. I won't pursue this in great detail here...but important to bear in mind as I pr...
No worries. My turn to confess :yikes: I only found the article by following your previous link to it elsewhere. I should have acknowledged that. From...
Thanks for this. It is just what I was looking for. A way to understand Hegel and his spirit. I am quite attracted to this way of looking at the world...
If you are confused, then join the club. I am the last person to be correcting anyone. Have you read the Preface ? Have you read the thread ? Have you...
Returning again to this: @"Wayfarer", your post intrigued me at the time and I think I did try to respond to it but inadequately. I understand that yo...
It's OK whatever you decide to do. I will either continue in my own sweet way, or I won't :smile: It will still involve clarifying or questioning the ...
Returning to the question of Hegel's God. And para 23. Thank you, Fooloso4, for helping me along the way. Your questions have stayed with me. @"Foolos...
People do 'read' books still. In different ways, times, places. Public libraries are important - as is where they situated. My local has moved 3 times...
Yes. I think many will be in a state of depression, if not worse. What kind of philosophical view would see you through ? West ? East ? Ancient or mod...
Thank you so much for that explanation and insight into the cultural and historical background. I understand better what you meant by accepting a Chin...
About this attack: I watched a 13min video on Channel 4 news last night - we were pre-warned about the violence. https://www.channel4.com/news/hong-ko...
Given that I have made similar comments before to no great effect, I welcome this response. In the main, the pace of posting paragraphs has been such ...
Concerning national identity - I lack knowledge in this - how many identify with the Chinese way of life ? I don't know that there should be a 'should...
Yes. An excellent in-depth, comprehensive piece of clear knowledgeable writing. Far superior to my quickie link to the Guardian article. Thanks Wittge...
I think it is wise to take time to review difficult aspects of Hegel. All the better to clarify and hopefully reach a better understanding. This 'to a...
OK. Yes, in one sense, each thing or person is other than the rest, but there are similarities as well as differences. As we all know. If we take the ...
Agree. If we take it 'absolute' as 'all encompassing', it would be the outer circle. I think, according to Hegel, it is the universality of philosophi...
Returning to our previous question about 'absolute otherness'... I am going to refer to Gardner's glossary in an effort to understand the above. So, w...
To even try 'to re-say Hegel' we need to know what he is saying in the first place. To focus on the text. This means careful reading - not a swift, su...
How so ? I don't fully understand it either. I think I remember discussing it earlier - but it never quite sinks even with all the repetition. It is l...
I find this excerpt from para 28 helpful: So, knowledge for the particular individual is internalised as he progresses through life and learning via s...
Excerpt, para 26: Response: Discussion: That makes sense to me. In that the claim is that it is philosophy alone which is supposed to lead to increase...
