Thanks. This SEP article is very helpful. It describes various interpretations of Hegel's Dialectics. Yes. Here, it spells out that Hegel rejects the ...

Might have something to do with ushering in the End of Time.

So, an easy 5 minute walk in the park :wink:

Fooloso4 works hard at this; note his reading process above. His practice means an ever-increasing fluency in Hegelese. If anyone doesn't understand, ...

Nicht wirklich. I knew it fairly well a long time ago. Thanks for your very kind offer. But that would be too much for my fried brain right now.

Yes, that makes sense to me. Try an initial understanding before grabbing the dictionary. That is kinda what I do. Have to say though, Latin, German a...

Kein Problem ! The quote function can be a bit of a pain :roll:

I don't know but it might be an idea to use the quote function, stating Hegel as source. Otherwise, when your post is used as reference, it looks like...

Need to sort out the quotes. Tim should not be confused with Hegel.

Yes. We shouldn't expect to understand everything on a first read. Read, reread and reread again.This requires time and focus. Likewise. Agreed. I was...

Yes. This glossary is more in-depth and explanatory than the previous Gardner one. It links concepts and shows how Hegel uses them. A glossary is an e...

Good point. I think people want, need, to hear a positive message. One that inspires hope for the present and future, instead of this miserable, regre...

It seems some think that enlarging his base is exactly the point.

Thanks. I appreciate the time, patience, knowledge and experience you bring. Will be taking some time out now but will follow with interest.

I feel for that guy. It will depend on the performance by all involved. Sometimes the film is better than the book...

From what I have read, I would agree.

Given that things are going from bad to worse, I am actually waiting for that. So far, he seems to accept that being racist is wrong. But being a raci...

Unfortunately, she is now a target who might well need extra protection as a result. Can you imagine the effect that must have on an individual - bein...

It is reassuring to know you find the translation to be good. I think having German as a first language will come in very useful when it comes to deci...

Without your curiosity, questions, imagery and ideas, I might well have carried on in ignorance. Now out of a sleepy stupor and fully engaged. I agree...

Yes. I noticed that when Tim posted it earlier. Indeed. It is helpful so to do. I have also used the search function. 'Formalism' comes up 13 times. O...

Thank you for that. It seems that Schelling is indeed a target of Hegel. And vice versa. Bearing in mind the need to focus on the text, I only add thi...

Thanks for that. All opinions welcome :smile: It sounds good. Kaufmann as an authority on the subject is more than likely to be right :cool:

But, but... that is part of being who you are, self-expression. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_destruction Think Pete Townshend of the Who...

' ...this other view instead consists in only a 'monochrome formalism' (para 15 ). I referred to this earlier, thinking it might have to do with the f...

Not always possible. Think circumcision. For sure, we start off with little. As we grow, a few might still not have the ability or capacity to play mu...

Everything changes to some extent. Action > Reaction. I meant also to include the reaction of ' That's not me. That's not who I am ' This defensive ex...

Indeed.

Good questions. I don't know. However, I think it might refer to Hegel's critique of Kantian idealism. Perhaps the contemporary 'Empty Formalism Objec...

Yes. That is a helpful way of looking at and understanding para 14. As is :

.

Yes. It is right to point out the problem of over-thinking. For sure, the Preface won't be completely understood after a first read through. Individua...

The beauty of having a pdf is its search function. Type in 'Napoleon' to read of Hegel's claim. For context and understanding, I think it helpful to r...

He can be both. And more besides. So many nouns and adjectives. Either way, he is a dangerous preacher of hate and division. This latest is an atrocio...

Having taken the time to read more, I now understand the term 'qualitative leap' and the revolutionary aspect. So, I agree with you and the important ...

I'm tired so will ask only one question - perhaps a follow up tomorrow, or if someone else wants to contribute their thoughts... Examples of what and ...

Ah yes. The movement of history. I had been thinking about the duration of Hegel's own journey. His time of revolution within the overall evolutionary...

Thank you, Tim. Although initially critical of need to cut and copy whole paragraphs, thinking a reference sufficient, I now appreciate this very much...

Yes, I read that. However, I am wondering how long this took in real life. How long was 'the winding path' ? 12. The beginning of a new spirit is the ...

Readers each explore the form, shape, substance and nature of the text from their unique perspective. So, a group affair is more likely to fare well. ...

This clarity helps my understanding. Much better than the glossary explanation . Thanks.

This makes sense to me. There are distinct stages of development of an individual, the core spirit of whom remains intact. It is a becoming. Each indi...

I Will Survive :starstruck:

I was waiting for that. You didn't disappoint. But who was Popeye, really ?

And what does that mean ? How does that answer the question of who we are ? Is it about working out who the 'Real' you is, or might be - and then some...
