This video is fundamentally important to understand our society.

It is exactly this issue of personal freedom that has completely shaped post-Hegel political debate and to which neither socialism nor liberalism has the right answer. The "answer" is that it is a constant battle of giving and taking. The source of that answer lies in the concept of personalism.

The video repeats minute 21:00 at minute 31:52 again

Imagine turning the TV on and this is running.

Thanks for this. Really interesting.

Back in the 1970s it seems Singer was trying to look like Nietzsche. He didn't quite have the hair for it...

The description of Hegel's writing sounds exactly like Foucault.

what the fuck was that opening music?
It was like something out of kubrick's The Shining

[jnighs]

Why's it repeating did they cut it

Peter Singer knows a place you can go when you’re short on your dough.

This pious wish of Hegel’s to interpret
the orthodoxy of his generation was
successful, and the modest hopes of
his philosophy were fulfilled. Never perhaps
was a system so true to its date and
so false to its subject. ~Santayana, Egotism in German Philosophy (1916).

Singer's presentation of the Christian position was actually the Deist position. He obviously knows his stuff but that was wrong.

Whoever edited this video must have been drinking too heavily, which reminds me of John Kenneth Galbraith commenting that being drunk was the only way to begin to understand Hegel's prose. Perhaps, someone took up Galbraith's recommendation.

in what sense is the personal the political? Magee doesn't seem to hold that view...
