Spreading fake news about Hegel

Hegel by Terry Pinkard

>>14719263
I don't.
I point blank asked my professor if he was dark wizard whose works were meant to put the reader under a spell of confusion, and he laughed nervously and said "just read him slow, underline every sentence you come across that makes sense, and eventually you'll pick up the vocabulary. after that re-read it."

>write a long paragraph
>say it is all lies
fuck the author

>>14719060
Some of those things are can be construed as true, just not in the exact way the author phrases them. Are they reductive, or interprative? Yes, as are all synopses. I can already tell this is goung to be some middle-American university professor take on Hegel, might even be by a jew. Thanks for nothing OP

>>14719060
What are the problems with the second sentence? Are you really going to try to refute that Hegel was the forerunner of Marx, or that he was an idealist?

Sounds like you've been reading too much Magee... (you and your professor are both right! [spells require spelling like grimoires require grammar])
>>14719381
It's just the preface, whole thing is a biography.

It's a decent secondary work if you are an anglophone obsessed with Hegel. I was prepping to dive into Badiou and Zizek and read Pinkard's Phenomenology and wanted an overview on Hegel in himself and his other works before sullying my brain with continental tomfoolery.

Sometime explaining to a five year old loses a lot of info...

>trusting a "non-metaphysical hegelian" who resorts to casuistry when called out for his unhistorical reading of hegel with faulty hermeneutics

pinkard is fucking garbage

>>14720065
All readings are historical. Hermeneutics is always at fault of the anxiety of influence.

>>14720125
whatever you say chief, just don't actually mislead people into reading terry "completely made up reading of hegel" pinkard

>>14720136
What is he wrong about? What is made up? Is his translation of PoS faulty? I find sublation a nice word for aufhebung...

>>14720125
>all readings are historical
Not at all. History is just one of many structures necessary for understanding. This would imply the existence of some metastructure
