Interesting story. If I understand correctly, then I agree. The tools you forged yourself could be a direct copy, an imitation of the original product...
Exchange of letters between Hegel and Goethe. Did Hegel appropriate Goethe's idea ? https://ethicalpolitics.org/ablunden/works/on-hegel.htm No 43 Goet...
Yes. Such criticism ( and more ) is supported by others more articulate than whot I am. For example, 'In the Spirt of Hegel' by Robert Solomon. https:...
Thanks for explanation and point to ponder on our path. It's good to linger a while. The idea of the 'path', I think was first introduced in para 12. ...
I don't know. I doubt it is exactly Hegel's approach. Goethe wasn't such a brilliant, mad philosopher. It would be interesting to see how they compare...
Para 26 Oh no, not your blood - that is a sacrifice too far ! Perhaps we could all chip in...and pray for a positive outcome. Why Kierkegaard and not ...
Yes. That is word for word translation. So, no difficulties there. I guess there was more to it. Anti-religion ? What comes first...not words. Nor a B...
No, I don't think that's it. Goethe was a poet and thinker. Faust was the character trying to translate the New Testament into German. From what I rem...
When I think of spirit, beginnings and qualitative leaps, Goethe comes to mind. With his: In the beginning was the act. Im Anfang war die Tat - Faust....
Yes. It is about the testing of ideas or concepts. The dance of the dialectic. https://www.marxist.com/science-old/dialecticalmaterialism.html I think...
As already discussed, the movement of history is central to Hegel's system. Of course, there are matters of 'scale' within this. Paraphrasing some pre...

OK. Good examples of individuals getting caught up in events outwith their control. Within which there is still that search - desire - for freedom, pr...
So, are you saying you don't know about - or recognise - the importance of culture ? What particular notion of 'culture' do you have difficulty with ?...
Interesting to read of this translation. However, as you say it is ambiguous. Within a specific passage it could and probably does take on the particu...
Thanks for good advice. I am hoping that the 'Useful Hints and Tips' section is expanded/updated so that there is a permanent place for such. There ar...
So, we should thank our lucky stars ? For the 'few' - who knew what to do? And the opposing view ? :smile: I am beginning to enjoy Hegel. Worth the ef...
Hah. Talk about circling back... We kinda skipped over that right at the beginning. (Amidst the confusion of Kaufmann v Pinkard and their different pa...
Funny. Boris morphs into Trump. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jul/28/dude-i-take-no-pleasure-in-having-been-right-about-boris-johnson...
It is not the capacity for rationality but the culturally formed and educated rationality that allows the person to become for herself what she is in ...
At first glance the quote looks to be the words of tim wood. As suggested before, to avoid any confusion on requotes, it is good to give Hegel his due...
Indeed. Perhaps. However, the Preface is by its very nature limited. For a more expansive, possibly clearer view, we would need to read the chapter on...
OK. It would be helpful if you could expand on this objection. If this is about the Master/Slave dialectic, then there are many views and interpretati...
Well, we are roughly a quarter of the way up the mountain. And sidetracks have been explored. Good to have a picnic break to survey the scenery. I wil...
:up: Channel 4 news, interviewers and interviews.The best. Even the weather forecast :cool: Edit to add: I note we can subscribe to this. https://www....
Really ? You don't think they would make a devilish pact with the Tories again ? Ah sorry - this was about being an anti-Brexit Conservative. You're r...
I do. And I will watch this later. The debate is mentioned here in an excellent article. Heading: The prime minister has a bust of his Greek hero in N...
Would you go to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe ? Yes. That is what drew me in. The first mouthwatering bite...and then look what happened.....
Now this captured my attention. I am very fond of Goethe. Having read one or two pieces of his literary work, I hadn't thought of Goethe in terms of G...
Well, there is nothing new here in the sense that I still don't get it no matter how often he may repeat himself. This: I have read this and similar p...
I am returning to para 17, Preface. I didn't quite catch the importance of this on my first skim through. Appreciate Fooloso4's thought here: Thanks f...
The term or idea of 'development' usually has positive connotations but not always. What do you mean by it ? What 'condition' are you talking about ? ...
Perhaps you are right. However, I read it that the inequality remains when the roles are reversed. Yes, the relationship develops over time. Rockmore ...
'The process of becoming aware of the other' seems central to Hegel's theory. We only become self-aware or self-conscious via our relationships to oth...
Hegel deals with the world and consciousness at different levels. Thinking is part of being in the world. It includes and leads to all kinds of knowle...
I agree. We can't discard this. It is part of a 3 stage process. Leading to knowing ? Truth ? 1. Immediacy comes first. If it means intuitive and simp...
I don't understand this. Would it be possible to give a practical example of how this operates ? From Gardner's glossary: NEGATIVE, NEGATION, NEGATIVI...
