Descartes & Hegel on the Self

A few introductory clips on Descartes' individualistic versus Hegel's social notion of the self. These clips come from the 1998 Εxαminϵd Life series.

Interesting, great learning. Happy that the name is pronounced accurately, it rarely happens.

Vídeo apresentado por um pessoal sério e competente, embora muito curto; em particular sobre Hegel... Se fosse o caso aqui, teria muitos comentários a fazer...
Então, só para constar um: Descartes foi, para mim, aos 21 anos, minha porta de entrada a filosofia. Sua descoberta de que a verdade é a certeza de si mesmo deu-me uma segurança, na São Paulo dos anos 1950, de que até hoje não tirei todas as consequências na medida em que todo o pensamento subsequente parece-me igualmente tributário...

I appreciate the post, just wish it wasn't cut so short, I was starting to get into what he was saying about Hegel.

Nice intro to Descartes. Leaves me hungry. Thanks.

So few philosophy programs and documentaries like these.

What happened to the G E Moore video?!

We humans are torn between a desire to be free and independent and a desire for social involvement
They are mutually incompatible needs and result in a state of permanent inner conflict

The editing of this video is so atrociously bad it’s hilarious and brilliant

[CesarClouds]

Is this from the TV show "From Socrates to Sartre" which was based on the book by the same name?

[anthonykenny]

If it’s not an orchestra in the background it’s the French that makes it impossible to hear the narrative

Yeah sure, just a minute I'll turn off the TV ... Descartes and Hegel on the self in 12 minutes. That should be really deep and enlightening, and I won't need to read them ... great! Two famous philosophers explained in the time it takes to fry an egg. Bravo.

Both are talking at the same time disturbed me, I couldn't finish it.

Hegel, whom I can call my most excellent teacher by now, is not comprehensively explained, only because he writes difficult. This is unfair!😢

[gabrielajonczyk]

How does the professor not get privacy and is mistaking it with individualism? Descartes probably was stinky

[prawen]

Philosophie is very interesting to me

[MrLcowles]

It tends to point one in the direction of: Hegel was an idiot. Or at least, a con man.

Cartesian Dualism is a curse upon philosophy, and The Atomized Self is a curse upon humanity.
