Hegel was a gnosticist trying to popularize the religion to bring Europe out of its secular boredom. His entire "philosophical" work that he is known for was actually a work of theology. It's no mistake that modern systems derived from the man have become full-blown religions.

Hegel was a hermeticist to begin with. His pseudophilosophical work is practically theology. "Absolute knowledge" has fuck-all to do with philosphy and everything to do with gnostic hermeticism.

Hegel was a Hermeticist whose "philosophy" was actually an attempt at popularizing esoteric Hermeticism as a new religion to replace Christianity.

Hegel is crazy gibberish

Why do the answers to the fundamental questions of being have to be so tightly sealed? This not dangerous knowledge, also neither bad nor good, just the purest kind of knowledge there is, like math.

Is the reason his writings are so obscure also the reason Hegel is widely ignored in analytical philosophy? Even when he provides a lot of answers analytical philosophy in the tradition of wittgenstein/kripke is not able to answer? Like the problem of naming?

Is the most important philosophical system ignored because anglos simply cannot force enough willpower to work it through? Tbh this sometimes felt like it was intentionally written to not be understood. I have spent weeks on this work an I have only been able to read to 1/3rd of it, yet I push on.

Easily Hegel, grandfather of modern nationalism and Marxism, as well as a grandfather of postmodernism. Hugely influential in every field.

Two super powers, first the USSR, now China have a left Hegelian doctrine as a sort of quasireligious unifying principle, as do several smaller states. The Cold War got to define a century and a new one might soon define our time. But Hegel is no less influential on the Right. You see it in Fukayama using it for Neo Cons or in the spiritualist nationalism of the Trumpist era, as well as back with the Reich.

Hegel might sit behind Kant in relevance to philosophy directly, but in terms of motive force of his ideas no modern thinker has been as influential.

Hegel was either an Arch-Archon or the Demiurge itself.

Daily reminder that Hegel was literally Satan/The Demiurge taking human form and unleashing mental poison into the planet. If memes are like viruses, Hegel is Ebola mixed with AIDS mixed with small pox.
