Beautiful lecture and very concise given the scope of the work, thank you for sharing. I'm on chapter 1 still. Must have taken me 10 hours to get that far.

The dislikes are Schopenhauer and the 6 students who couldn't get into Hegel's lectures and had to attend his.

Thanks wry much, Mark. A most helpful lecture. I really appreciate the time you have taken and the valuable resource you have provided.

i am thankful for your brief expression upon the notion of dialectic which is too difficult. it helps me a lot. i need you, please, to differentiate transcendental idealism and absolute idealism. thank u, sir.

Great presentation, I was wondering if you could make a Derrida video some time, thank you for this content!

[stuarthicks]

Somehow your explanations of Hegel make the most sense to me. Like seems clear and well, not obvious but very understandable. The stuff on phenomenology, on the other, hand leaves me scratching my head and thinking duh fuk? Still can’t get anything out of that other than its anti Cartesian seeing us as similar beings to all other beings and that knowledge is attainable through the phenomena of senses. Just keeps reminding me of Hume. Know that it’s something I just don’t get. Thanks for your videos BTW.

Lol, love the new outro and intro music

Protip: In trying to grasp complex Hegelian concepts, it sometimes helps to read Schelling since a lot of what Hegel is trying to say is a more detailed and developed maturation of Schelling's work.

strange question: can the slave-master dialectic apply to two people in those roles with each other who are incapable of abstract thought, who can and do think only in literal terms, incapable of deductive logic? in other words, to achieve recognition by the other, does one need to be capable of deductive logic? is the lack of this skill in many the reason for the prevalence of slave-master dynamics--or does this dynamic carry out either way? or conversely, can one possess a sort of naivete "goodness" despite a lack of logical ability that will deem them transcendent of the dynamic (an unintentional, accidental resolution)? or, "D": all of the above are possibilities.

[broggsey]

I came here because I wanted to understand zizek. I studied Kant, Heidegger and Nietzsche at uni and did ok I think but Hegel is either explained in a way that doesn’t have any real depth or loses me completely. See how I get on with this video.

[soros]

How would dialectics and recognition of the Other apply to religions? For example, Christianity and Islam?

[WilliamYangy]

the characters is gray and small in the ppt...

[alecmisra]

Its not an unknown unknown but a known unknown. This is the point

[BunnyBUNGALO]

The qualities of an object define the existence of the object.

[hyperduality]

Thesis is dual to anti-thesis, the Hegelian dialectic.
Cognitive dissonance or contradiction = opposites, opposame = duality or polar opposites.
Master is dual to slave, truth (axioms) is dual to falsity, questions are dual to answers.
Schrodinger's cat in physics is based upon the Hegelian dialectic, alive is dual to non-alive.
Energy is dual to mass -- Einstein
Dark energy is dual to dark matter.

Translation: _Hegel is hard to read because he was a bad writer and he pulled ideas out of his ass._

Hegel's idealism narrates the master and slave relation with the divine (Anthropic Principle-intelligent cosmic consciousness, in clash with self-consciousness of the individual devoid of the divine, due to Marxist dialectical materialism gave birth of atheism. After Marx, the struggle to incorporate the individual with the intelligent design, helps Putin (Christianity) and Xi Jinping (Metaphysics-mystery of nature() recognize the relation with the individual with the Absolute. Indeed every individual is genetically programmed to discover his/her relation with the divine (even the atheist and the sceptic seek the relation, without which the synthesis doesn't result as the slave finds his freedom in the complementarity with the divine (phenomenology of spirit).
