Those times, we are the spirit, whose culmination is the sublimeness of art, and pure actions.

Ahh, the best drop of cum is the last one. Bwahahaha.

Could someone link me some good lectures on Hegel? Generally, the ones I find are too slow paced. Others are impenetrable because they are taken out of the context of what the professor was teaching in other sessions of the class the lecture is from.

>Only what is living feels a lack, for it alone in nature is the concept, the unity of itself and of its specific opposite; in this relation it is a subject. Where there is a limitation, it is a negation only for a third, an external reflection. It is lack, however, insofar as in one sense the overcoming of the lack is also at hand, and the contradiction is posited as such. A being which is capable of having and enduring the contradiction of itself in itself is the subject; this constitutes its finitude. — Reason proves its infinitude precisely at that point when reference is made to finite reason, since it determines itself as finite. For negation is finitude and a lack only for that which is the suspended being of itself the infinite relation to itself. Thoughtlessness, however, stops short at the abstraction of the limitation, and in life, too, where the concept itself enters into existence, it fails to grasp the concept, but remains fixed on the determinations of representation: drives, instincts, and needs.

Over 6000 years ago Indo-Aryan Hindus had already articulated Hegel's philosophy.

Hegel wasn't writing about the absolute because it had been achieved in the 19th century Prussian state and culture. Others before him had said the same thing.

Hegel was just really arrogant.

So I tried to read Reason in History, too hard for me. But the few things I've read about Hegel make me want to read it more, what should I read first to be able to understand Hegel.
Also, if you can help me synthetize Hegel' theories, that would be great.

why the fuck this nigga start talking about history all of a sudden? shit came out of nowhere i swear to god.

Can we get a brainstorming thread here on /lit/, like someone proposes an idea and someone else tryes to develop it,
( scuse me if my english is bad I'm trying to do my best).

I start. How can we adapt Hegel's theories of the Evolution of Reason to this age, by wich elements ?

he was a prophet

Name me a better philosopher /lit/.

>protip: you can't
>inb4: you Kant

>There are people on /lit/ who believe that there's a teleology of history.

Become a philosopher OP, attractive philosophers are the exception, not the rule.

>"You weren't there man. You don't know"

Alright /lit/,

I'm looking to get into Hegel. I have two questions for you guys.

1. Which works should I start with and which should I save till the end?
2. What is a good, moderately simple, and concise introductory text that goes over all of Hegelian philosophy?

Thanks for the help.

Because this guy was the superior continental rationalist

was hegel wrong?

Redpill me on Hegel /lit/.

Continental philosophy pleb here.

What are the most important (or in your opinion: best) works on political philosophy in the analytic tradition=

Literature teaches us to choose between two interpretations: not two interpretations of the speech or actions of others, but two interpretations of our own perceptions and the feelings of affection that accompany them. There is the interpretation that converts into individual figures the shifting outlines of the moving stain and from these figures isolates the love object to be possessed. And there is the interpretation that converts them into metaphorical elements to be thrown on to the big wheel of metaphors of writing. ... He [Gheon] cannot grasp that literature is the real life that heals us from the misunderstandings of both the fictions of love and the fictions of politics. The misunderstanding that literature sustains is the price to pay for the cure it offers from other misunderstandings. Thus literature teaches us to do what the lexicographer may not, that is, to choose misunderstandings carefully.

Looks good to me boss

is hegel worth reading in times of nondeterminism, evolution theory and wittgenstein?

i'm 50% into "philosophy of history" and my feel is that all the stuff he talks about is outdated on every level even though his eloquence and the grand scale of the topics remains interesting to read.
His comparison between physical laws behind the motion of planets and the laws behind history reminds me of cheap pop-science authors who try to link quantum mechanics to consciousness and soul.

Are there any good looking philosophers, /lit/?

They all have awful hair and droopy skin.
