Antonio Wolf has a really good series on Hegel's actual method I recommend you folks check out--it's very different than what you folks may suspect. Dialectics for example, in Hegel, aren't a method you apply. In fact Hegel never even said 'dialectics'. Hegel's logic also isn't formal but imminant. It's a series of thought exercises you operate. I also recommend people check out Prof. Winfield and The Science of Logic.

you can't really summarize hegel if you don't go deeper in his thought, for example the dialectis in not a method, it's the process of human sef itself, by extention the process of reality, since kant philosophy thinks the world through the problem of subjectivity, dialectic is the process of subjectivity developping itself and the world it creates.

Well summarised. Those are the major aspects of Hegel I remember. :) Looking forward to Mill. Love this channel. ^_^

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the channel, Hegel is tough and I would love to dig more into his very complex work.

Carneades.org I'd read about him in Russell's 'A History of Western Philosophy'. The author openly admits that he's a difficult philosopher to understand, which I found amusing. xD

Hegelian philosophy was the impetus for Kierkegaard to develop a philosophy which nowadays is called existentialism.

As is often the case, Kierkegaard was not inspired so much by copying Hegel's philosophy, but rather objecting to and critiquing it.

kierkegaard philosophy is not thinkable whithout the dialectics, in continental philosophy when you "oppose" someone, it generally means you thinking from his concepts

Why should I stay skeptical?

Im interested in 'negativity'. And its functional relation to advanced esotericism.

It's pronounced "Gayorg" not "George"

I thought this was pretty ordinary. No mention of alienation? nothing on the Absolute Idea? Objective Idealism? Wasn't "thesis-antithesis-synthesis" developed by Hegel's contemporary Fichte? Why is this attributed to Hegel since he never used the term? If it does apply to Hegel, what is the difference between Fichte and Hegel's usage? You don't give any sense of Hegel's stature. Wasn't he the most famous philosopher in Europe? There's a story of Schopenhauer, who despised Hegel's work, deliberately scheduling his lectures at the same time as Hegel's lectures. Only five came to hear Schopenhauer but more than the enrolled students came to see Hegel, so many that they sat in the aisles. If his work is so impenetrable then why was he influential? I guess if you don't mention the later I guess you don't have to explain. Your video gives the impression that Marx was the only one influence by him. What about the other young Hegelians? Left and right Hegelians? You showed us the cake but gave us some crumbs.

It is a short video, I can't cover everything. While influential in his time, in the grand scope of all philosophy, he's far from the most famous. And while he was certainly influential in continental philosophy, he's not that important to analytic philosophy, and we are focusing on analytic philosophers in this series, few of whom were influenced by Hegel.

You all complain that no one is reaching the essence of hegel. Why don't you tell us what it is? There is no essence. He was a charlatan.
