It Is Dangerous to Read HEGEL

Фильм және анимация

History is nothing but the progress of the consciousness of freedom.
There is nothing in the world more precious to human beings than freedom.
Throughout time, the notion of freedom has evolved in tandem with the state of the human condition, hence history is nothing but the progress of the consciousness of freedom.
And there was one person who realized that more than others and made it the nucleus of his thinking.
That person was Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

    That was very good, thank you! Toward the end you say that Hegel influenced Nietzsche -- yes, probably. But did Nietzsche ever actually acknowledge this influence? I've read Nietzsche's works, and the closest I can recall to Nietzsche saying something positive about Hegel was in one of the later works, where he calls Schopenhauer and Hegel the two great brother-spirits of German philosophy, who were unfair to each other as only brothers can be. Nietzsche's overall opinion of Germany and Germany philosophy was very low, so this remark can't really be counted as a great compliment to either of them, but it does suggest that perhaps Nietzsche was freeing himself from Schopenhauer's utterly contemptuous dismissal of Hegel, that perhaps Nietzsche had seen something in Hegel which Schopenhauer had missed.

    Incredible parallels between the philosophies of Nietzsche and Hegel. For both, the concept of freedom was the central philosophical problem. Hegel dealt with this concept in particular from the perspective of society and historical development, while Nietzsche dealt with it from the perspective of the individual and it's psychology (but made many analyses of society and history from other perspectives). In both philosophical systems it seems possible to find overlapping conclusions. Their examination from each other's perspective is interestingly complementary

    I actually thought this video would be a genuine critque of Hegel as the phrase "You might feel free when reading Hegel" would be a good maxim to encapsulate Kierkegaard's main argument against Hegel. That being - by keeping your view on such a high level, you might eventually fool yourself that you really have the absolute knowledge and this would lead to self-deception and dettachment from what's true for your own existence here and now.

Btw, Greek city states and its socio-econamy found based slavary and the tyrany of the ownership never won any war against the Persians. In one or two minor battles the local army of the Persia led by local commanders didn't prevail. Tow minor setbacks which didn't change the inevitable outcome of the war which was Persian victory and fall of the tyrant oligarchs of the Athens. Greek city states had no significance to the great Persian (actually Iranian) Empire which was based on wisdom: the harmony of the essence of the univers aka the truth (Arta), and the progressive mindset which shoud drive it.

    This video doesn't sit right with me at all. It's this interpretation of Hegel that is so "common sense" that it strips away the very essence of his ideas. Hegel is very much the philosopher who fought against so called wisdom in the form of aphorisms and sophistry so I very much doubt you even more when you say you've been a Hegelian at heart even without prior context of his works/influences. Why do I say this? From the title of your video, you say reading Hegel is dangerous and I thought that was intriguing, cause I agree. It's dangerous to *misread* Hegel. I'd even say that a grave misreading would lead to the development of reactionary and fascistic ideas that uphold nostalgia for traditional values. And it's not even that I'm saying you out right don't understand him since idk the full extent of your knowledge, it's just that you provided a very lacking video that allows viewers to profoundly misread his ideas, making the premise of the video very ironic. I don't think it's a good sign when your viewers start talking about Jung on a Hegel video. I think to really understand what Hegel did, you need to provide context on the development of German Idealism. There simply is no shortcut since you first have to dismantle this romantic idea that is so deeply rooted in our "common sense", namely transcending into the Absolute, discovering the Truth, going from low to High, etc. etc. Going way back to Plato's Allegory of the Cave where there exists a binary between illusion and reality, we have been so used to this type of reading of idealism that it's hard to really demonstrate how radical Hegel really is.

    Additionally, Hegel as, supposedly, the philosopher of nothing and everything is, imo, problematic due to a major idea of his about false universalities. Perhaps the only all-encompassing idea we could learn from Hegel is that the mind is very treacherous when it comes to teaching you "everything". The very foundation of Hegel is that all existence is built from negation. To account for everything is imminently treacherous. Think of what Orwell said, all lives are equal and yet some are more equal than others. This insistence on everythingness is what blinds us to our inherent differences and leads us to be intolerant of those different to us. It is those who have insisted on their everythingness who could also lay claim to nothingness as to seamlessly hide the power they have. Yeah, perhaps he did philosophize about the concept of everything and nothing. But I think to really sell what he did, you have to say he radicalized our very conceptions of thinking about everything and nothing in the first place. He didn't examine the content, he examined the form in which everything and nothing makes itself known to our mind, i.e. how we even get to conceptualize such ideas to begin with.

    Here’s my essay. “What ‘histoire’ Means to Me” History to me, means the same as the French “histoire” which is story, and not just a story, a bullshit story on a biblical level. That idea is quickly becoming a glaringly self evident fact. The official history, I can no longer believe. It’s officially fiction. It’s just a “story” passed off as reality, or more accurately a lie. Everything I thought was, wasn’t, and never was. I ask you this…There is NO reason to believe a person who is known to be a chronic liar…Why would you? There is no difference between an insignificant lying individual, and the individual who wears a golden crown and is beholden to the men who hold the keys to the chest of gold, except the gargantuan size, and deadly difference of their lies. I know the mouthpiece of the powers that be ( i.e., the media), lie. That is undeniable. I may not know the truth for certain, but I know a lie, and as a human, I know human nature. But what I never knew in regards to people, but that I know painfully well now, is just how suicidally stupid the bulk of humanity is. We are not becoming free, we live in cages, are chained and are muzzled ( I'll show you all the KZread notices that my free speech is not allowed, and they will soon be shut down). We are not only losing freedom, if we ever really even had any, but we are also devolving intellectually. I see people in the 21’st Century as approaching the classification of “sub mammalian.” I say that because at least animals have their survival instincts…Humans, Westerners specifically, have been castrated of their instincts, the instincts nature gave them to survive. We’ll all be no more than slaves or at best serfs within 50-100 years, if we aren’t now. I think the last few years has crushed my 50-100 year prediction. It’s over brother. Of course, I’m just some dumbass on KZread. Mine is not the finger of God writing providence in marble, so maybe there is hope…I doubt it though. Take this challenge...Take a damned good look at how stupid, non thinking, weak and gullible people are…Take a serious realistic look ( especially at Westerners - Caucasians), then place your bet on the truth or falsity of my words. There will be no “300” to beat back the beast for us my friend. We’re done. However, people are so stupid and blind they’ll never feel the pain before the water boils and cooks them alive, but I will… I do, and you will too, if you don’t feel it already.
