Half Hour Hegel: Phenomenology of Spirit (Absolute Freedom and Terror, sec. 585)

In this 246th video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, we continue our study of the sub- section - "Absolute Freedom and Terror" - part of a major portion of the work, "Spirit". I read and comment on paragraphs 585 of the text here.

[more information to be added here in the near future]

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.

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation

It is sad to see that this video only has so little views. It is understandable though since viewers need to go through all of the previous lectures before viewing this one. I myself just started out with the book and this series and came to this video because I wanted to look up the most recent video to see how far you already came along with the series. I hope someday you will be able to finish the book, that would be awesome and a great contribution. It has been more than 4 years since the first video and you are around 70% now? You will probably be done around 2020, 2021 with this series in that case. I really hope you will make the finish line and don't get discouraged by the low view counter. Best of luck!

This may be a long answer to this question so no need to reply. Given the use of the word/concept "Will" in German philosophy especially post-Kant, it seems like Hegel is using it in a different sense than Schopenhauer or Nietzsche. But are there any parallels (e.g., they are both reacting to Kant when they use that term)? If there are any places that discuss that (maybe wasn't looking in the right place in the Stanford Encyclopedia) just let me know. Thanks!
