​​​​@@PhiloofAlexandria I am struggling to understand. If Hegel believes there is no objective truth that fundamentally originates our perception of reality, and that there are no universal laws, is he denying the existance of multiple individuals? Is he denying that two people can look at something, because there is nothing in themselves to look at, and two cannot exist because our experience says nothing about the nature of other people, and so we cannot assert that other people bear nature? Is he then saying that any statement I make for example, is true, because there is no truth, so any perception I bear on reality is the changing truth of a singular subject, which is the Geist? Then is everything invented, every discovery? Did gravity not exist before it was asserted, was any assertation the truth by simply being asserted? If we all conceptualize that the universe functions in a particular way, then does the universe conform to that conceptualization, because there is no noumena by which it is bound? I don't see how he can posit a finality to the improvement of thought if there is only thought and it is the only thing to exist. Kant makes much more sense, that we process a reality based on something existing. All Hegelian philosophers or philosophers in light of Hegel's idealism are stating that if I was to have schizophrenia and see spiders running up and down my walls, those spiders would wholly exist, inasmuch as anything else exists. Everything that can be thought of exists. As someone with a recently developing passion for philosophy, how is it then that there are so many philosophers that deny the existance of God? Is philosophical atheism distinct from the atheism of the masses? Any assertions of any existance fundamentally asserts a principle of order, or of a will, or most importantly of any sort of unconditional claim. Those always correspond with God. What am I missing, and where do I need to look to understand atheism?

I can't thank you enough for this, Sir.

I loved listening to your discussion, those little jokes really helped liven the lesson. Thank you for this.

Great video, which helps in approaching Hegel. Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis is overemphasised as generally doesn't occur in Hegel in this way; it certainly is true that Hegel talks about something being negated and 'aufgehoben'/Aufhebung to reach a higher synthesis. This embodies how a concept is developed rather than in static propositions.

This is one damn good lecture on Hegel, for which we give our most heartfelt thanks.

Many thanks & greetings from Cancún, México! CM.

When Hegel talks about this expression of social cohesion in his Elements of the Philosophy of Right, he talks about the effect called Pobel. It is perfectly a result of this vicious feedback loop of transformation within itself. Nice lesson Professor Bonevac, as a student I would like to know if you could more in the future get into the topic that Quine aborts in The Roots of Reference, when he relates a notion in Berkeley about a two-dimensional dynamism and an answer present in Gestalt Psychology.

This is a very simplistic view of Hegel, which is great for an introductory course, and I applaud you for making the effort to incorporate Hegel into a course such as this. Spent many pleasant hours with your "Deduction," by the way.

@@mattdavies4886 Hegel happened, thus making "inevitability" a bit of a nonsequitur when discussing his ideas. On the other hand, calling his ideas "logic" does a great disservice to logicians everywhere.

A few current continental philosophers that I know of (for the life of me I can't think of any of their names at the moment 😃) say that Hegel believed that "contradiction" is the ultimate root of everything: every affirmation contains contradictions that give rise to negation, on and on pretty much forever...aka the heart of the Universe itself is contradiction. They say the basic thesis-antithesis-synthesis system is a slight misreading of his work since he didn't affirm "progress" like a "Young Hegelian" like Marx did. What later people called synthesis, Hegel wouldn't necessarily have thought was progressively better. ( Hegel was apparently a "bad" writer even though he was a great thinker, and his lack of clarity led to later people all reading something different into his work.) I dunno, but I find it all fascinating. Thanks for the video!

Problem (thesis), reaction (anti-thesis), solution (synthesis) -- the time dependent Hegelian dialectic. Mind (the internal soul, syntropy) is dual to matter (the external soul, entropy) -- Descartes. Concepts are dual to percepts -- the mind duality of Immanuel Kant. The intellectual mind/soul (concepts) is dual to the sensory mind/soul (percepts) -- the mind duality of Thomas Aquinas. Mind duality is dual to matter duality. Matter duality: Bosons (waves) are dual to Fermions (particles) -- wave/particle or quantum duality. Active matter (life) is dual to passive matter (atoms, forces). Noumenal is dual to phenomenal -- Immanuel Kant. Hegel's cat: Alive (thesis, being) is dual to not-alive (anti-thesis, non-being) -- Schrodinger's or Plato's cat. The Einstein reality criterion:- "If, without in any way disturbing a system, we can predict with certainty (i.e., with probability equal to unity) the value of a physical quantity, then there exists an element of reality corresponding to that quantity." (Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen 1935, p. 777) Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy:- www.iep.utm.edu/epr/ According to Einstein we predict or project reality into existence, this is a syntropic process! Thinking is a syntropic process, entropy or information is converted into mutual information to form predictions, projections. "Through imagination and reason we turn experience into foresight (prediction)" -- Spinoza describing syntropy. Predictions are used to track targets -- teleology. Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non-teleological physics (entropy). Syntropy (prediction, projection) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics!

So my understanding now is that in Hegel's view the ''noumena'' of Kant as being filtered through the categories themselves, and thus we cannot say anything about that at all. So does this not make Hegel a bit of a Solipsist, because if there is no reason to believe in the ''noumena'' than are we not only left with mind?

No -- Hegel's point is that the idea of noumena is a bad one (that there is no thing-in-itself), not that the noumena of Kant actually exist but are inaccessible.

@DanielBonevac. I would like to know what are your thoughts on what justifies the synthesis between thesis and antithesis. Presumably, we would eliminate any contradictions between them as we would aim at avoiding breaking other logical laws. However, if this enough for synthesis? When is a synthesis warranted? Thank you

This was a great introduction to hegel. I think that kant was epistimologically metaphysic and hegel metaphysically epistomological. I think that kant (the one ive read) proved his point on what we can know, say, and understand with certainty, very little. but hegel seems more like the existentialist type dealing with why what how of the way that he personally thinks of the world. I will dust off that copy of phenomology of spirit soon now that im interested.

Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all of it 34:42

brilliant video, i am confused about the conclusion made about norms of a specific time being the rational outcome of its historical background. why adapt the social norms when we can negate them to at least attempt to get closer to the absolute knowledge?

THE ABSOLUTE EXPLANATION!

Hey big fan here just one question, what is the difference between Berkeley and Hegels philosophy, i see no difference, they both say that there is no external input from the world and we construct and project everything in our mind.

@PhiloofAlexandria

Жыл бұрын

There's a lot of similarity; both are idealists. But in Berkeley, God perceives everything all the time, giving everything a kind of objective existence, even if it isn't a material existence. In Hegel, there's a strong social and dynamic element. Geist, Spirit, unfolds over time, according to dynamic laws of thought, eventually attaining a state of absolute knowledge.

Implications of this philosophy in education please

The idea of progress of the universal Geist reminds me of a similar vision of eventual “universal enlightenment” in Mahayana Buddhism, and also in the writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, like The Phenomenon of Man.

Thesis -> antithesis -> synthesis is not Hegel

Hegel denounces Kant's idealism but doesn't really offer an explanation of how the mind works. Can you point to literature where Hegel's attempts to explain the mind instead of just explaining how the environment changes the mind when interacting with it (which this video explained)?

20:36 is not actually a part of Hegel's system of thought. See The Hegel Myths and Legends, Chapter 20 (in part 6) The Hegel Legend of "Thesis-Antithesis Synthesis" by Gustav E. Mueller

This video presented a very lucid and coherent system which is ultimately my problem with it. Hegel had a an ambivalent relationship with the Law of Identity, and objected to attempts to treat logic as a set of formal operations devoid of conceptual content. As is often pointed out by Hegelophiles (to coin a term) the “thesis-antithesis-synthesis” formulation of dialectical logic seems to have been deliberately avoided by him since he never used those terms. . .which apparently come from Fichte. Is it any wonder then that most people simply don’t understand him and even people who make a deep study of him have different interpretations of his work? It is sad that Fichte and Schelling get glossed over in the mad rush to get from discussions of Kant to Hegel. Hegel built on a lot of ideas from them, and the transition from Kant to Fichte is a lot more natural than Kant to Hegel.

Might is right?

Philosophy is an opinion that lasts the test of time. Philosophers live through the lives of their teachers.

What if the aufgehaben is wrong?

Lovely treatment of the critique of Kant, but Hegel's method of immanent critique isn't the thesis-antithesis-synthesis triad.

Is it not the case that there is something beyond understanding creating a paradox? Is this not a category ? If philosophy refuses to acknowledge this paradox it does truth a great disservice and leads to this sort of metaphysical speculation so necessary for many, precisely what Kant wanted to avoid and abolished through his critique of pure Reason. How the gods must laugh at Hegel, fathoming The System and knowing it all by rote! Good video, thanks.

This is a good and helpful lecture, but I always cringe when people describe Hegel's dialectic in terms of thesis, antithesis, synthesis. That was Fichte's idea, not Hegel's. Hegel is much more profound than that. Hegel's dialectic is about sublation, not synthesis; that is, finding truth in how moments of thought reflect each other, how they both negate and preserve each other. The Stanford Encyclopedia article entitled "Hegel's Dialectic" does a good job of showing the problems with thinking about Hegel in terms of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.

13:39 I think we cannot have the view of quantum and slit experiments displacing cause and effect . This would result in absurd outcome . The correct position seems to be that quantum still correlated with cause and effect and we do not understand that phenomenon correctly . To state the view that this can mean a cause has no relationship to effect requires extraordinary evidence given the absurd nature of the outcome

I very much wanted to enjoy this, and though I loved your enthusiasm, I ended up shaking my head at the “thesis-antithesis-synthesis” explanation of the dialectic. This is an interpretation that has LONG been discarded as a thorough misunderstanding of Hegel. It’s just philosophical centrism. For Hegel, it’s “antithesis” all the way down-that’s to say, identity presupposes non-identity, negativity, difference, etc. Identity is split within, not merely without. Further, this negativity does not sublate the “best parts” of it’s relative “positive” (a misleading word in this context) into itself so as to create a higher unity; rather, unity only exists in the coincidentia oppositorum-identity through contradicting antagonism. There is movement, but the movement is not a synthesis (I believe he even decried this interpretation himself); it is a continuous disruption of identity. Hopefully that helps to see why “synthesis” is inadequate as a name for this stage in his thinking, but if it isn’t, essentially what we’re saying here is that any positing of an identity is itself unstable from within, therefore the “higher synthesis” is self-sundering. It is simultaneously a question of the epistemology inherent in the grasping of abstract identity as filtered through human concepts, yes, and a question of ontology via negativity. Also, “absolute knowledge” is an incorrect phrasing, it is “absolute knowing”-the knowing of the process, not the full grasp of an unmediated Absolute devoid of contradicting antagonisms-the Absolute just is this negativity itself. Best wishes, and hope this help someone

I agree with much of what you say. I find the thesis/antithesis/synthesis worth teaching despite that, for several reasons. First, it brings out the dynamic aspect of Hegel's thought, something that marks an important difference from Kant and other earlier thinkers. Second, it does seem to me to capture something important about his understanding of the development of the self in the Phenomenology, where earlier stages are aufgehoben in unhappy consciousness, which is itself aufgehoben through mutual recognition-the recognition of recognition-allowing the formation of self-consciousness. Third, it plays a role in his understanding of history, and exerts significant influence on Marx and the pragmatists.

In no way whatsoever does Hegel claim that “whatever is, is right.” That is just egregiously wrong. Whatever outdated secondary source is being relied upon here is misinterpreting a claim for the Preface to the Elements of the Philosophy of Right that no one who has read the Logic would make and which, moreover, he directly addresses in the prefatory matter in the Encyclopedia: that which is actual [wirklich] is *definitionally* adequate to its rational concept (§6R). Not everything that just is [Dasein] or appears in existence [Existenz] is actual-much less right [Recht]. As much as I appreciate the effort to provide a sympathetic reading of Hegel, most of this is just plain wrong. An imperfect (of course) but highly accessible overview of Hegel’s thought is Stephen Houlgate’s Introduction to Hegel. Just in case anyone is interested. Terry Pinkard’s intellectual biography is also quite accessible to a general/undergraduate reader. (His interpretation is worse that Houlgate’s, but it’s still a fine place to start.)

Wow. That is a weirdly psychological reading of the first Critique. (Not a lot of Kant scholars on board with that…) Also, massively wrong about Hegel. Hegel is not a relativist, nor is he a pluralist. And I would really reserve the term “historicist” for Herder, Humboldt, Dilthey, et al. Hegel’s philosophical histories - world history, art history, religion, philosophy - are systematic reconstructions in accordance with the logic of the concept [Begriff]. Perhaps most importantly, the dialectic of pure self-thinking thought - Aristotle’s nous, not any particular thinking individual - presented in the Logic is (or so he everywhere claims) ahistorical, eternal-the immanent unfolding of that which constantly, unavoidably asserts itself [die Sache]. This, in fact - and nothing else, nothing more - is the absolute: the entirely self-conditioned activity of self-knowing in art, religion, and logic.

The appendix stores good bacteria for your gut/immune system. When the body senses infection and we get diarrhea, the body becomes void of good bacteria, which is stored by the appendix for such occurrences. In the ancient world, the appendix was a necessity because of how often we came into contact with diarrhea inducing foods, water, etc. In the clean modern world, where diarrhea is less frequent, the appendix is less useful and sometimes even bursts from being infected itself. Ignorance is more abundant that farther back we go in time, which is why ancient wisdoms seems so strange to us now. Knowing the Thing was very different in our recent and ancient past because nearly nothing made rational sense.
