Not his power, it was Hegel's, who also inspired liberalism and fascism aside from communism, basically dominating the next centuries of human life.

The Quine-Putnam Indispensability Argument is also a point for Platonism, at least mathematical Platonism.

If only one guy had found a way to reconcile apparent nominalism and realism in a single system and had a system for explaining emergence as well...

Even if you believe that nothing in his philosophy makes sense, you can't possibly deny what a fucking alpha he is for doing that.

Explain Hegelian dialectics the best way you can. No watering down or thesis+antithesis.
Kisses.

Even books that were written before Phenomenology of Spirit are based on Hegel's philosophy.

What, besides hegel, do I have to read before I read Marx?

hegel

What are the implications of the subject having a void, an emptiness, as its centre - like in Hegel? Is the negativity within, the difference within the subject's identity, all about the dialectics it opens up between subject and object?

My point of the raised level of interaction of common people wasn't actually making a good point of a particular strong influence on Europe's part.
Fair enough, you're right.

no, and he never will be.

Soft agree. The thought has been in the western canon for some time, just never truly considered outside of mere philosophy (never actualized outside of individuals, who society then deemed schizophrenic or ill otherwise). One might also say that Kant's project was similar to this with relation to the outside/noumenal and it's ultimate unapproachability.

Nietzsche nailed it with perspectivism.

One might say that Thales hit the nail on the head even sooner. "all things are full of gods".

and I mean I agree with the rejection of it

I highly doubt that "he's a centrist". Hegel wasn't rejecting authority like the young Hegelians.

Today, left and right are mostly divided by the border/no border question, which ties to nationalism. A second common reading of the divide is to take left and right to mean pro or contra communism. Which is even more blurry, since national socialists can be autoritarian, and thus right winged pro Marxist - unlike covert crypto-Bolshevist but fake anti-authority signaling American progressives.

If you take the notion of left and right by its dictionary definition, though, it's a matter of authority and people like Hegel and Humboldt were definitely pro state, pro institution and pro authority - independent of how progressive their call for self-actualizations were.
The young Hegelians like Marx, Stirner, Feuerbach, wrote down propositions that Hegel never ever would have

good god. nice.

I have been reading The Tale of Genji for close to a year now (around 800/1100 pages).

I only enjoy reading philosophical and religious texts or secondary sources about them these days, which is too bad because there are a lot of works of fiction I want to read but they just bore me in comparison now.
