Half Hour Hegel: The Complete Phenomenology of Spirit (Preface, sec 61-63)
Показать описание
In this twenty-seventh video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on the sixty-first, sixty-second, and sixty-third paragraphs of the text, from the Preface.
Hegel continues contrasting the speculative or dialectical approach with the "argumentative" or "ratiocinative" approach. The speculative approach radically reframes the relationship between Subject and Predicate, and Hegel uses a musical or poetic analogy -- of the relationship between meter and accent in rhythm -- to illustrate this relationship.
He also examines two examples of propositions, "God is Being", and "The Actual is the Universal", showing how these are handled in the mode of speculative philosophy. Part of the dialectical process is that the Subject disappears or finds its full meaning or essence in the Predicate, which in its turn becomes something like a subject in itself. Hegel points out that the inevitability of doing speculative philosophy in natural language, explains a complaint often made about philosophy, that it requires rereading in order to be understood.
In this video series, I will be working through the entire Phenomenology, paragraph by paragraph -- for each one, first reading the paragraph, and then commenting on what Hegel is doing, referencing, discussing, etc. in that paragraph.
This series is designed to provide an innovative digital resource that will assist students, lifelong learners, professionals, and even other philosophers in studying this classic work by Hegel for generations to come.
