@@GregoryBSadler at least that will buy me time to catch up, already have the book and I'm working through the preface. Thanks a lot for all your work!
I'm very excited about this new video series -- it's been a long time in the planning and conception, and even longer since viewers and subscribers started asking me for more Hegel. This project -- to shoot and upload videos going over the entirety of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit -- will likely take several years to completely see through. Spending about 30 minutes or so, on 2-4 numbered paragraphs of a 800+ paragraph work, and releasing 1-2 videos in the series each week. . . it's going to be a long-term commitment. But, this is something I've wanted to do for some time!
Really excited for this series. I have the same copy of the Phenomenology waiting for me on my bookshelf - I read the preface but decided it would be best to wait until I had read select works by Kant, Fichte & Schelling. This will be a great primer =)
Sam Butler Well, it will help to have some background in Kant, less so Fichte and Schelling, I'd say -- but I'll be trying to supply that when we get to the paragraphs where that becomes necessary
Don Key This does indeed risk going beyond 100 hours of video lecture. As to the computers of the future. . . well, I'm not sure about that. If Hegel is right, unless something radically changes with them and the way they function, they're not really going to be able to grasp the workings of the dialectic. If they did, and if there was something like a Skynet, Hegel is pretty optimistic about the human condition, but. . . he's also by the end of work seeing Spirit working in the community, not in the individual, and there's quite a bit that has to be left behind while being preserved. I'd be pretty nervous myself about a Skynet that was using the Phenomenology as its blueprint!
Just checking in to offer my sincere thumbs up and encouragement for this project. It could be quite the marathon. I will be following. Thanks again Dr.Greg. Cheers.
Just discovering this series! How awesome! This book blew my mind as an undergrad and now as I am approaching 50 I have decided to return to it and see how it affects my aged brain. :) All thanks and praise to Gregory Sadler for this incredible commitment.
Dr. Sadler, thank you for posting these lectures on these wonderful philosophical works. You are a credit to the great one, Socrates, for sharing your knowledge with all who will listen!
Hegals book is very difficult to read.... Hegal himself did not have clear idea about anything... What he wrote about light gravity sound force are foolish stuff....
About 10 years ago I tried to read this book. It was the hardest book I ever held in my hand. Now with these series Im picking up the book again and with your help it makes more sense. Thanks
You're welcome! Yes, I think it probably is one of the most difficult texts, but mainly because so much is packed in and tangled up together, and it's high-powered metaphysics, morals, and philosophy of history/culture all the way through
I just discovered Hegel recently. This is so great. THANK YOU Gregory! Hegel ties in so much with my layman thoughts about Torah, Christ, physics and a lot of other things. I was (am) 54 years old before I knew this.
Mr. Sadler, you're my hero. I've been looking into studying the Phenomenology of Spirit in detail, and now with your videos I have the hope of being able to achieve my goal. Thank you very much, your work is very inspiring.
This is amazing. I fell in love with POS after watching your lectures, I think you are really brave to take on this momentous task, it is daunting even thinking about it.
This is wonderful. I just started doing some independent study of Hegel and he is so insightful, but his work is so daunting! I looked around for some help online but I would've never expected to find a full series by an actual philosopher. What a windfall. Thank you for your work.
I'm really excited for this series, and I'm glad you're tackling such an ambitious project! I hope to start seriously reading the Phenomenology of Spirit over the summer once classes are over, and I'll tune in to this for support.
My only regret is that it isn't Feb 2017 and therefore can't have the completed series. Anyone on the bench, get off it and start watching these videos! This is the most educational thing on RUclips bar none and he treats the commentators like students.
jujuandjesus Hahaha! I've since more realistically revised when I'm likely to have this all finished -- more likely sometime in 2018 at this point. Glad you enjoy the videos!
Yep. . . it'lll probably take about 250-300 half hour videos (so at most 150 hours of video). It will be interesting to see just how much interest there is in this sort of close reading -- and a looong course -- in the RUclips universe
Gregory B. Sadler This I will be watching. Hopefuly to it's completion. I have the book in the shelves, but have never been confident enough to take it on myself. Much appreciated. Thank You!
I'm 52 y.o. now. After years of studying philosophy, it is remarkable how influential and therefore important Hegel is. Arthur F. Holmes pointed that out in his lectures on the history of philosophy at Wheaton College when those lectures addressed Whitehead, Sartre and Dewey. William Barrett, in his book "What is Existentialism?" showed the pervasive influence Hegel had on Existentialism and on Heidegger in his temporal concept of the "Care" structure.
Yes. I studied to be a Jesuit at Georgetown, but I got a cocktail waitress pregnant. Then I studied law. I got through my middle age crisis, didn't realize how short life is, I survived, and still feel 25.
It's quite a shame I have discovered this channel later than I was supposed to, but I'm glad I did regardless! I love your videos and have been watching them for quite a while now. Thank you for your efforts, Dr. Sandler.
Thanks for the super human effort professor and for your patience to simplify Hegel who is devilishly difficult. I've read small portions of him in the context of political theory/political philosophy. Since i'm starting on my masters next fall i'll probably be doing more Hegel reading since he's foundational for modern philosophy especially Marxism/critical theory...This series will be a gem to watch, as are all your other vids!
You're welcome. Yes, Hegel is indeed important to read and understand, if only because so many people are reacting against him in the 20th century! Add in those who used his ideas more constructively, and . . . . .
Very excited to learn about this!! I have NO idea what I'm in for, but heard it recommended a lot in another youtube comment chain and it seemed intriguing. Furthermore, I'm going to be making my own videos of this series sharing my learning process. I think this is going to be very interesting.
I attend through Zoom, a philosophy seminar every week with students and professors affiliated with my university. We have been attempting to decipher Hegel and The Phenomenology of Spirit and, needless to say, I need good secondary sources! Thank you for doing Hegel, this cannot be easy but I applaud you Dr. Sadler! I love your videos!
I agree completely. It is easy to become discouraged while reading somebody like Hegel or Kierkegaard, but thank you for the encouragement. Your commentary does provide me with needed explanations and pertinent insights into certain aspects of Hegellian thought. For that, I am happy to have this resource. I'm on track to go into philosophy for my post-graduate studies and have been trying to devour as much philosophy as I can before I enter as I am a psychology major. Philosophy has stolen my heart however, and I love to find people that share in that love. I direct people to your videos often and I hope you can continue to release more and more. 👍
i am 13 and i am beginning my journey today with this first video. i cannot understand the book-like at all, so these explanation videos are going to help out. thank you for the videos!
instead of studying for my exams, ive been reading and talking with my father who studied political science. im greatly interested in marxism but he told me to understand more about marx, i have to study hegel(and also read history of philosophy by will durant just to get a basic premise of everything). so i got this book which i dont understand and now i have these videos. just a little background of why and how
If the goal is to understand Marx, the Phenomenology is probably not the book you want to start with. I usually suggest the Lectures on the Philosophy of History and the Lectures on the History of Philosophy. Marx also explicitly engages Hegel's Philosophy of Right
Super exited to jump on this journey with you professor Sadler! My study plan is to read the paragraph of the given video, watch the lecture, and write a small concised paragraph of my own about the paragraphs just read. And I will do this every morning for the preceding year and a half. It's gonna be a long one! I appreciate your monstrous contribution.
@@larianton1008 I mean a video and anywhere from 1-4 paragraphs (depending on length) a day seems doable. Maybe take a day off after finishing a section?
@@GregoryBSadler yeah, most likely I wont be literally following this every day. I'm sure that breaks will present themselves. Like for instance, if I go on a camping trip.. But as a plan, I will try to follow it diligently.
This is fantastic. Thank you for undertaking such a generous and rigorous endeavor. I've seen many of your video lectures and am looking forward to seeing how this project unfolds. Again, thanks for your work.
This is terrific. I will definitely be following along. I joined a book club that discussed the Phenomenology of Spirit for a couple of months but it wasn't very productive. Hopefully this series will help me better understand Hegel.
We did a several months long reading club back in grad school, trying to get through the Phenomenology. Some sessions were pretty good, others not so much
This series is magnificent (so far). I have always told people I threw Hegel in the trash because I thought it was garbage. I couldn't make sense out of any of it. I can tell Sadler knows his sh*t and he will make sense out of Hegel. It turns out this book was still on my shelf. I'm really looking forward to reading along with this. Thanks.
I graduated from West Chester University, in West Chester, Pennsylvania with a BA in Philosophy and Religious Studies in 1987. I remember being invited and honored to take a Graduate Seminar on Hegel from Dr. Stanley Riukas. As an undergrad sitting next to Grad students I was in awe. I would also become in awe of Hegel. It's 2017 and 30 years later. I'm curious to see what I think for Hegel now. I have dusted off my copy of the Phenomenology of Spirit and will read each section and view the video accordingly. Let's get started!
Hey, I'm that person who commented on the other video, great description for a RUclips comment, but ever since I got into philosophy and first heard about Hegel I've been meaning to look go into detail Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. I've had the book for a while, but my summer plan is to go through this book in great detail. I'm thankful this video series exists since I have already read 13 sections but have no guidance to whether my insights are that, insightful.
i wasn't sure which video out of 86 to comment on but this is as good as any, having seen the series in it's entirety and a whole pile of notes to add to my filing cabinet, this was a really great piece by piece breakdown of the complete phenomenology of spirit, i've always found Hegel a bit dense to read at times but this series made quite a few points i was slightly unclear on much more understandable, your dedication to philosophy is quite admirable, a very well made series with concepts very well defined along with good analogies and examples, a great addition to the knowledge banks of mankind
+Simeon heath-moss Thanks! We're only about 1/4 finished with the project at this point, so you've not actually seen the series in its entirety. Then again, neither have I!
This is a great idea, thank you. Luckily so far i have managed to avoid The Phenomenology of Spirit in my studies but i am going on a masters in sept. and hopefully onto PHD after that (fingers crossed) and something tells me i won't be able to avoid it forever! it certainly is an intimidating text!
Well, I think in most departments, since Analytic philosophers run most of them, you can avoid the Phenomenology (and many other great, challenging works) indefinitely. But, you certainly wouldn't want to
22:50 to 23:45 Great synthesis of the text. I'm not convinced by his argument but yours is a very useful analogy to explaining it. My summary. "Writing a preface to a philosophy book is less useful than for most books because a summary is unable to capture an essential part of philosophical knowledge - the expertise gained from truly wrestling with the concepts." To go beyond actual Hegel's words but hopefully contribute to his point : Philosophy not a pursuit of learning facts, but of learning how to think with discipline and rigor by following along with someone who learned the practice from others. Being able to summarize (if it is indeed possible) 'Hegel believed that .....' doesn't adequately express what Hegel wanted to impart. Hegel believes that it's important that you to learn to think about the material in a similar manner to how he does himself.
As someone who cant afford college but is absolutely fascinated with philosophy and the study of the political economy I cant thank you enough for helping me get this so I can finally move on to Lacan and then Žižek
Dr Sadler, I truly appreciate your work and careful presentation in this video. Just one paragraph took a half hour!--Amazing!! I'm really looking forward to watching more lectures and I understand how lengthy this project may be. Whatever you are able to ultimately accomplish will elucidate this great work for many. Thank you!
Hahaha! Well, not quite a half-hour for this one paragraph, given my long-winded discussion of the series at the start! You're very welcome -- I'm glad to be able to do this -- having the readily available technology is very important!
Absolutely fantastic! I've been itching to get into Hegel but have found the vast claims of confusion regarding his work to make the task seem daunting on my own. Definitely going to keep up with this series and I'm sure it will be very helpful. Thanks so much!
You're welcome! Yes, he is one of the toughest, densest thinkers I've found -- Theodore Adorno (who, of course, was a Marxist Hegelian!) would be just a bit tougher to read
by hearing key words in your hegel lecture, i am able to read him with clarity;instead of being swamped by the words he uses :) thanks!! (i saw your intro to phenom. of spirit)
That can be useful for some thinkers. I strongly recommend NOT doing that, if the goal is to understand what is going on in this difficult thinker. In fact, I don't recommend watching the videos one right after the other, without a break. This is Hegel we're talking about, not some easy textbook
yes now im into your third video and im finding myself rewinding the videos frequently... its a bit hard to fully grasp some concepts, especially the new way/type of thinking or looking at things
Yes, it's tricky stuff, that's for certain. If you're interested, we're actually having an online Hegel party later today, to celebrate finishing all of the Reason section, and moving into the Spirit section of the work. We're now past video 175 in the series, with about another 150 or so yet to go - facebook.com/events/2024106211150197/
Good job man , I have read the book in its original language ( German) . And could not apply it to me , so I missed to understand what's Hegel really is trying to say. I think I'm now able to understand it even in English which is my second language. Thanks a lot for this verdins and sure will benefit from them
@@GregoryBSadler sorry I was making a foolish, obscure joke about Schopenhauer, who held lectures at the same time as Hegel. I want to say thank you for this lecture and I look forward to watching the rest of the series.
Thank you so much for doing this. I'm about to enter the 4th and final year of my Philosophy BA and Hegel is going to feature prominently, so this series, which I'm going to follow all the way through regardless of college material, is going to be invaluable. Your other videos have already provided an excellent back up to my college lectures. Thanks again Sir.
Glad that the videos have been helpful for you! I suspect, though, that we'll be still knee deep in the middle of the Phenomenology when you graduate. . . .
10 years ago and still a huge online resource for everyone. I finally broke down and got the Phenomenology of the Spirit and I really want to try to engage more with Hegel since he's clearly had a huge impact on the thinking and philosophy of Marx, Nietzsche, Deleuze, and countless others. I have always considered the dialectical materialism of Marx and Marxist to be too dogmatic which is what has kind of drawn me to Deleuze lately. Gonna try to read this book alongside your videos
@@GregoryBSadler I mean, it's a life long journey. My goal is to produce working-class theory and I'm trying my best to engage with earlier works to better understand 20th century philosophy. I really enjoy Deleuze's Nietzsche and Philosophy and read through a bunch of his works. Right now, I'm about done with the Black Jacobin and C.L.R. James has a historical materialist approach which feels very dialectical. I'm not quite sure if I believe in the dialectic process but it's nevertheless important in understanding the journey of Western philosophy
Hello Professor Sadler, I was actually looking for the Audio Book of this, but did not find it, instead though I have found your lecture. I've listened to many of your other lectures, so I am excited to see that you are doing Hegel and presenting this series that I can have as a video companion to read by. To be honest, I skip around in the book, instead of front to end. I do this initially then I go from start to finish, but being so long, I like to choose particular (lol) chapters or sections rather and read them. Thanks for doing these lectures! I am happy to have found someone to speak with /listen to whilst I am reading this great Philosopher.
Thank you so much for the effort and detail you are putting into your videos. I really enjoy them, and it will be great to follow Hegel in detail with your lovely conversational approach. Looking forward to more in the series! Have you ever thought about extracting the audio from these videos and putting them out as a podcast?
Is there a particular order that one needs to follow before turning one's attention to Hegel? Are there any prerequisites? I'm an engineer by profession but I'm completely mesmerized by the allure of philosophy. I'm reading The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant along with Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. I haven't read much before apart from attending a few introductory lectures on philosophy. Can I fancy myself a chance to dive right into Hegel? Or should I read some more of the philosophical works before reading POS (and if this is the case, can you recommend me some) Anyway I'm in love with your channel Sir. I know you put in a lot of work into this. Just know that your work is deeply appreciated. THANK YOU!
If you're going to have a go at Hegel, I don't actually recommend people start with the Phenomenology. Two sets of lectures are better starting points: Lectures on the History of Philosophy, and Lectures on the Philosophy of History
@@GregoryBSadler Okay Sir. I will try to get my hands on Hegel's lectures on History of Philosophy before getting into his phenomenology. Thank you for your generous reply. I hope you keep putting out this fantastic content. Really grateful.
Amazing Greg! You captured the full meaning of this first section and enlightened me even further on the meaning of it. Shining the light on the universal --> an astounding graphic (I love philosophy graphs) of the dialectic of universality 'under the dome of universality lie judgment and knowledge' --> The analogy of Wikipedia, and why we can't just use encyclopedias as teachers (this is important and ironic on many fronts) --> and really, the crux of it all for me, for Hegel here...The particulars of philosophy and science, the anatomy analogy, and the point, I think, that Hegel is making: we must look at ALL philosophy here to date as anatomical parts of the whole--an ever unfolding whole body made up of many anatomical philosophical parts. Nice work Dr. Sadler--keep 'em coming...only 879 episodes to go :)
Well, hopefully, more like only 300 or so to go! Hegel's one of those thinkers who, when one just explains him, has enough richness to "sell himself", so to speak, so the credit really goes to him
I thought the baroque violin solo was a nice way to start the video off. I am an aspiring music educator and I often find myself turning to philosophy to justify music in public schools. Some of the ideas you use in your videos have helped me in that process. Thank you for being so active
You're very welcome! I'm much more of an amateur, and likely always will be, with music -- but I do have a blog I started as an indulgence for myself, called Heavy Metal Philosopher
1/273 - Your explanations are very clear. It took me multiple reads of the first paragraph to get my own understanding of it, but I was off the mark in some of things he was conveying about the relationship of universals with its particulars, and the role of judgement in how those particulars contribute to the understanding of the universal. Fun stuff.
I'm looking forward to more videos on this series. I've just read some of Hegel's Philosophy of Right and it's just as exciting as it's spirit-breaking.
Great series and thank you! I have a comment on Hegel's view about preface to a philosophical work. I am using Hegel's own philosophy in fact. What could be explained in a preface, by the author, can reveal important phenomenological understanding on the subject matter, philosophical or not, therefore arguing against the necessity of a preface or even calling it misleading is a contradiction in itself.
This awesome Dr. Sadler. Kudos to you for grappling such an opaque book and making it better for us to understand; It's quite a task. I think that this is not for the faint of heart (or faint of brain!) so-to-speak. :)
I'm currently doing a research project for mental health and counseling. I never expected my project would bring me to Hegel, but he is relevant... My project concerns personality disorders.... Personality disorders (PD's) involve a defense against anxiety know as splitting.... People are considered either all good or all bad, and emotions are experienced to the extreme. Part of the therapy for PD's involves reconciling those polarities into an integrated whole. In fact, there is a form of therapy for this purpose know as dialectical behavioral therapy.... I trying to construct a model of personality that accommodates and facilitates the various therapeutic approaches for PD's... I understand the whole thesis, antithesis, synthesis thing, and I always thought that idea came from Hegel... However, i recently learned that Walter Kaufman says that is not true... I hope your videos help me figure this out... I need to sharpen my understanding of the Hegelian dialectic and know which material to source in my bibliography...
Well, I wouldn't really go to Kaufman for my information about Hegel -- there's many better commentators. . . If you're looking for psycho-therapeutic theorists who discuss Hegel, dialectic, anxiety, and "splitting", I'd steer you towards reading some Lacan and some Kohut The Hegelian dialectic is considerably more complex -- and useful -- than the Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis schematization that people have tried to reduce it to
Thank you so much for replying to my comment... Hmm, I guess I don't understand the whole thesis-antithesis-synthesis thing after all. I not altogether sure that Marsha LInehan understood it either when she conceived of Dialectical behavioral therapy. I am only trying to tie up one lose end in my project. I'll probably have to go about it a different way, as I honestly don't have the time to spend hundreds of hours studying Hegel. Having said that, I really appreciate what you are doing. It's very generous. You have made me interested in Hegel, and I would like to come back to it when I have more time... Meanwhile, I will take your advice and take check out Lacan and Kohut... Thanks again.
"I suppose youtube viewers of philosophical videos are an unusual bunch" Most definitely. I'm the most unusual person I know. Looking forward to this series! I'm actually reading a book on spirituality in the context of Christianity, so I'm sort of interested in how this is going to tie into that, if at all.
Thank you so much for doing this Professor Sadler. I'm french and I am learning Hegel through Hyppolite and you. I love Rilke too. Lets call this a solitude peuplée !
A little late to the series but I need to thank you for this great start to a series I am looking forward to digging into. I tried reading the preface to this work because (as you mention) it is an important work in the history of philosophy, but found myself a bit too puzzled at times--although I powered through it. I appreciate the effort you took in making this series and I expect it will help me with some of the challenging parts of the text.
a year or two after discovering Jordan Peterson I've become a Philosophy monster. Like the cookie monster but with Philosophy. Thanks for this fantastic series of videos Dr Sadler.
Alright let's do this. I am currently enrolled in a class on McTaggart, who commented on Hegel in his own special way. I hope this lecture will help me get my own understanding.
Regarding the secondary literature I picked up kojeve and another accessible book by a chap called Stephen Houlgate, to be honest even though Houlgate breaks it down into bite sized chunks. I still have to re-read it several times. I also asked someone who studied Hegel at postgrad level for a reading list and they gave me about 100 books so that kinda put me off, this video series will be a great help.
I've read some of phenomenology of spirit, but stoped when I went to uni a few months ago (for my philosophy module , we're doing Descarte), but I want to get back to it. The Dialectic for one thing has always been an idea I enjoy. It will be interesting to watch this series.
8 years ago, an epic project started. Now he is still going!
It's good I'm still going, but I'm way behind schedule!
@@GregoryBSadler at least that will buy me time to catch up, already have the book and I'm working through the preface. Thanks a lot for all your work!

I'm 52 y.o. now. After years of studying philosophy, it is remarkable how influential and therefore important Hegel is. Arthur F. Holmes pointed that out in his lectures on the history of philosophy at Wheaton College when those lectures addressed Whitehead, Sartre and Dewey. William Barrett, in his book "What is Existentialism?" showed the pervasive influence Hegel had on Existentialism and on Heidegger in his temporal concept of the "Care" structure.
I'm 51
Yes. I studied to be a Jesuit at Georgetown, but I got a cocktail waitress pregnant. Then I studied law. I got through my middle age crisis, didn't realize how short life is, I survived, and still feel 25.
Always wanted something that wasn't so summarized. Thank you sir.
You're welcome!
It's quite a shame I have discovered this channel later than I was supposed to, but I'm glad I did regardless! I love your videos and have been watching them for quite a while now.
Thank you for your efforts, Dr. Sandler.
You’re very welcome!
Perfect just what I was looking for
Thanks for the super human effort professor and for your patience to simplify Hegel who is devilishly difficult. I've read small portions of him in the context of political theory/political philosophy. Since i'm starting on my masters next fall i'll probably be doing more Hegel reading since he's foundational for modern philosophy especially Marxism/critical theory...This series will be a gem to watch, as are all your other vids!
You're welcome. Yes, Hegel is indeed important to read and understand, if only because so many people are reacting against him in the 20th century! Add in those who used his ideas more constructively, and . . . . .
This lines about relation between universal and particular are great. I still think about it, from the time when I watch this video.
I'm excited to start this series.
+Ellen Yarbrough Well, you're starting at a good time -- we've now got 90 of the videos produced!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I just started this book and I am going to try to follow along and watch your whole playlist.
Well, you'll be busy for quite a while then!
I'm currently in dire straits for a philosophy course to graduate. Your course allows me to review Hegel even into my leisure time.
+Qwerty Qwertz Glad the videos are helpful for you!
Very excited to learn about this!! I have NO idea what I'm in for, but heard it recommended a lot in another youtube comment chain and it seemed intriguing. Furthermore, I'm going to be making my own videos of this series sharing my learning process. I think this is going to be very interesting.
I attend through Zoom, a philosophy seminar every week with students and professors affiliated with my university. We have been attempting to decipher Hegel and The Phenomenology of Spirit and, needless to say, I need good secondary sources! Thank you for doing Hegel, this cannot be easy but I applaud you Dr. Sadler! I love your videos!
Hegel is tough, so don’t be too hard on yourself when you feel like you’ve lost the thread
I agree completely. It is easy to become discouraged while reading somebody like Hegel or Kierkegaard, but thank you for the encouragement.
Your commentary does provide me with needed explanations and pertinent insights into certain aspects of Hegellian thought. For that, I am happy to have this resource.
I'm on track to go into philosophy for my post-graduate studies and have been trying to devour as much philosophy as I can before I enter as I am a psychology major. Philosophy has stolen my heart however, and I love to find people that share in that love.
I direct people to your videos often and I hope you can continue to release more and more. 👍
@@dylandunn53 Thanks very much for that!
This series is marvelous! Thanks for breaking it down and sharing your knowledge. Wouldn't stand a chance with Hegel alone.
Glad you're enjoying it!
i am 13 and i am beginning my journey today with this first video. i cannot understand the book-like at all, so these explanation videos are going to help out. thank you for the videos!
instead of studying for my exams, ive been reading and talking with my father who studied political science. im greatly interested in marxism but he told me to understand more about marx, i have to study hegel(and also read history of philosophy by will durant just to get a basic premise of everything). so i got this book which i dont understand and now i have these videos. just a little background of why and how
If the goal is to understand Marx, the Phenomenology is probably not the book you want to start with. I usually suggest the Lectures on the Philosophy of History and the Lectures on the History of Philosophy. Marx also explicitly engages Hegel's Philosophy of Right
@@GregoryBSadler Oh ok. I appreciate it! thanks
Very excited to be beginning this series !
Fortunately at this point, if you want to go all the way to the end, that’s possible!
@@GregoryBSadler Grateful for the opportunity to do so Sir !
Super exited to jump on this journey with you professor Sadler! My study plan is to read the paragraph of the given video, watch the lecture, and write a small concised paragraph of my own about the paragraphs just read. And I will do this every morning for the preceding year and a half. It's gonna be a long one! I appreciate your monstrous contribution.
Well that sounds like an interesting way to go about it. If you follow that plan for every day, it should take a little over a year
@@GregoryBSadler I'll keep you posted. I have already looked a lot of indroductory material from youtube. Lets see if I can stick with this!
@@larianton1008 I mean a video and anywhere from 1-4 paragraphs (depending on length) a day seems doable. Maybe take a day off after finishing a section?
@@GregoryBSadler yeah, most likely I wont be literally following this every day. I'm sure that breaks will present themselves. Like for instance, if I go on a camping trip.. But as a plan, I will try to follow it diligently.
the madlad did it, ya finished it! congratulations sir
I did it indeed. Thanks!
This is fantastic. Thank you for undertaking such a generous and rigorous endeavor. I've seen many of your video lectures and am looking forward to seeing how this project unfolds. Again, thanks for your work.
You're very welcome
This is terrific. I will definitely be following along. I joined a book club that discussed the Phenomenology of Spirit for a couple of months but it wasn't very productive. Hopefully this series will help me better understand Hegel.
We did a several months long reading club back in grad school, trying to get through the Phenomenology. Some sessions were pretty good, others not so much
This man is the Goat
I now started watching this series again, to catch up with newest videos. I must say that this video is much better than last year :).
Hahaha! Well, the video itself hasn't changed, so. . . .
This series is magnificent (so far). I have always told people I threw Hegel in the trash because I thought it was garbage. I couldn't make sense out of any of it. I can tell Sadler knows his sh*t and he will make sense out of Hegel. It turns out this book was still on my shelf.
I'm really looking forward to reading along with this. Thanks.
Well. . . Hegel can be pretty murky, that's for certain -- tripped up by his own language, really. Glad you'll be reading along!
I graduated from West Chester University, in West Chester, Pennsylvania with a BA in Philosophy and Religious Studies in 1987. I remember being invited and honored to take a Graduate Seminar on Hegel from Dr. Stanley Riukas. As an undergrad sitting next to Grad students I was in awe. I would also become in awe of Hegel. It's 2017 and 30 years later. I'm curious to see what I think for Hegel now. I have dusted off my copy of the Phenomenology of Spirit and will read each section and view the video accordingly. Let's get started!
Sounds good!
I think il have to definitely start at the beginning 🤘💚 and theres still the new ones coming out ya. Hardcore thankyou so much !
Hey, I'm that person who commented on the other video, great description for a RUclips comment, but ever since I got into philosophy and first heard about Hegel I've been meaning to look go into detail Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. I've had the book for a while, but my summer plan is to go through this book in great detail. I'm thankful this video series exists since I have already read 13 sections but have no guidance to whether my insights are that, insightful.
Well, this will keep you busy for a while! We're around video 180 at present
i wasn't sure which video out of 86 to comment on but this is as good as any, having seen the series in it's entirety and a whole pile of notes to add to my filing cabinet, this was a really great piece by piece breakdown of the complete phenomenology of spirit, i've always found Hegel a bit dense to read at times but this series made quite a few points i was slightly unclear on much more understandable, your dedication to philosophy is quite admirable, a very well made series with concepts very well defined along with good analogies and examples, a great addition to the knowledge banks of mankind
+Simeon heath-moss Thanks! We're only about 1/4 finished with the project at this point, so you've not actually seen the series in its entirety. Then again, neither have I!
Quarantine binge time. For real though thanks for the lectures!
This is a great idea, thank you. Luckily so far i have managed to avoid The Phenomenology of Spirit in my studies but i am going on a masters in sept. and hopefully onto PHD after that (fingers crossed) and something tells me i won't be able to avoid it forever! it certainly is an intimidating text!
Well, I think in most departments, since Analytic philosophers run most of them, you can avoid the Phenomenology (and many other great, challenging works) indefinitely. But, you certainly wouldn't want to
Thx for this series, this piece of work is truly a piece of work in the best and worst ways.
It is indeed
22:50 to 23:45 Great synthesis of the text. I'm not convinced by his argument but yours is a very useful analogy to explaining it.
My summary. "Writing a preface to a philosophy book is less useful than for most books because a summary is unable to capture an essential part of philosophical knowledge - the expertise gained from truly wrestling with the concepts."
To go beyond actual Hegel's words but hopefully contribute to his point :
Philosophy not a pursuit of learning facts, but of learning how to think with discipline and rigor by following along with someone who learned the practice from others. Being able to summarize (if it is indeed possible) 'Hegel believed that .....' doesn't adequately express what Hegel wanted to impart. Hegel believes that it's important that you to learn to think about the material in a similar manner to how he does himself.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wanted to start an independent study of Hegel and wonderfully stumbled onto this...albeit late! Excited nonetheless!
12/10 changed my life!
As someone who cant afford college but is absolutely fascinated with philosophy and the study of the political economy I cant thank you enough for helping me get this so I can finally move on to Lacan and then Žižek
You're welcome!
Just got the phenomenology for Christmas and starting this series now, thanks so much for making this available!
You're very welcome!
Getting started. I've got 30 hours of driving to cover over the next month...should be fun! Cheers dr. Sadler
Thank you Dr. Sadler.
Thank you for drawing pictures and giving many examples. Helps my brain understand.
You're welcome -- sometimes that's precisely what it takes
Many thanks for posting Dr Sandler. An excellent clear and enlightening presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it. It's "Sadler", though
Dr Sadler, I truly appreciate your work and careful presentation in this video. Just one paragraph took a half hour!--Amazing!! I'm really looking forward to watching more lectures and I understand how lengthy this project may be. Whatever you are able to ultimately accomplish will elucidate this great work for many. Thank you!
Hahaha! Well, not quite a half-hour for this one paragraph, given my long-winded discussion of the series at the start!
You're very welcome -- I'm glad to be able to do this -- having the readily available technology is very important!
Thank you so much for this series. I've wanted to understand Hegel for so long and I finally feel like I'm getting it
You're very welcome!
Enjoying this series already. Great stuff.
Thanks
Starting 09/09/2024. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge my dude
You're very welcome
Absolutely fantastic! I've been itching to get into Hegel but have found the vast claims of confusion regarding his work to make the task seem daunting on my own. Definitely going to keep up with this series and I'm sure it will be very helpful. Thanks so much!
You're welcome! Yes, he is one of the toughest, densest thinkers I've found -- Theodore Adorno (who, of course, was a Marxist Hegelian!) would be just a bit tougher to read
by hearing key words in your hegel lecture, i am able to read him with clarity;instead of being swamped by the words he uses :) thanks!! (i saw your intro to phenom. of spirit)
That's excellent to read!
would recommend to everyone to watch this at 1.25 speed it should save you about 10 hours at least
That can be useful for some thinkers. I strongly recommend NOT doing that, if the goal is to understand what is going on in this difficult thinker. In fact, I don't recommend watching the videos one right after the other, without a break. This is Hegel we're talking about, not some easy textbook
yes now im into your third video and im finding myself rewinding the videos frequently... its a bit hard to fully grasp some concepts, especially the new way/type of thinking or looking at things
Yes, it's tricky stuff, that's for certain.
If you're interested, we're actually having an online Hegel party later today, to celebrate finishing all of the Reason section, and moving into the Spirit section of the work. We're now past video 175 in the series, with about another 150 or so yet to go - facebook.com/events/2024106211150197/
Good job man , I have read the book in its original language ( German) . And could not apply it to me , so I missed to understand what's Hegel really is trying to say. I think I'm now able to understand it even in English which is my second language. Thanks a lot for this verdins and sure will benefit from them
Oh no 🙈 i don‘t see a way of speeding the video up..
I'm glad that this lecture was good recorded because during the actual lecture I was listening to this Arthur guy speak to an empty room...
No idea what you mean
@@GregoryBSadler sorry I was making a foolish, obscure joke about Schopenhauer, who held lectures at the same time as Hegel. I want to say thank you for this lecture and I look forward to watching the rest of the series.
You’re very welcome
Thank you so much for doing this. I'm about to enter the 4th and final year of my Philosophy BA and Hegel is going to feature prominently, so this series, which I'm going to follow all the way through regardless of college material, is going to be invaluable. Your other videos have already provided an excellent back up to my college lectures. Thanks again Sir.
Glad that the videos have been helpful for you!
I suspect, though, that we'll be still knee deep in the middle of the Phenomenology when you graduate. . . .
Fantastic accomplishment! This series would have been helpful for me in my beginning continental philosophy class
I'm glad you enjoy the videos
10 years ago and still a huge online resource for everyone. I finally broke down and got the Phenomenology of the Spirit and I really want to try to engage more with Hegel since he's clearly had a huge impact on the thinking and philosophy of Marx, Nietzsche, Deleuze, and countless others. I have always considered the dialectical materialism of Marx and Marxist to be too dogmatic which is what has kind of drawn me to Deleuze lately. Gonna try to read this book alongside your videos
Well, you've put yourself in for a lot!
@@GregoryBSadler I mean, it's a life long journey. My goal is to produce working-class theory and I'm trying my best to engage with earlier works to better understand 20th century philosophy. I really enjoy Deleuze's Nietzsche and Philosophy and read through a bunch of his works. Right now, I'm about done with the Black Jacobin and C.L.R. James has a historical materialist approach which feels very dialectical. I'm not quite sure if I believe in the dialectic process but it's nevertheless important in understanding the journey of Western philosophy
Hello Professor Sadler, I was actually looking for the Audio Book of this, but did not find it, instead though I have found your lecture.
I've listened to many of your other lectures, so I am excited to see that you are doing Hegel and presenting this series that I can have as a video companion to read by.
To be honest, I skip around in the book, instead of front to end. I do this initially then I go from start to finish, but being so long, I like to choose particular (lol) chapters or sections rather and read them.
Thanks for doing these lectures! I am happy to have found someone to speak with /listen to whilst I am reading this great Philosopher.
I suppose there must be an audio book out there somewhere for it, just probably not free.
You're welcome! Glad the lectures will be useful for you
Thank you so much for the effort and detail you are putting into your videos. I really enjoy them, and it will be great to follow Hegel in detail with your lovely conversational approach. Looking forward to more in the series! Have you ever thought about extracting the audio from these videos and putting them out as a podcast?
Is there a particular order that one needs to follow before turning one's attention to Hegel? Are there any prerequisites?
I'm an engineer by profession but I'm completely mesmerized by the allure of philosophy. I'm reading The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant along with Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. I haven't read much before apart from attending a few introductory lectures on philosophy. Can I fancy myself a chance to dive right into Hegel? Or should I read some more of the philosophical works before reading POS (and if this is the case, can you recommend me some)
Anyway I'm in love with your channel Sir. I know you put in a lot of work into this. Just know that your work is deeply appreciated. THANK YOU!
If you're going to have a go at Hegel, I don't actually recommend people start with the Phenomenology. Two sets of lectures are better starting points: Lectures on the History of Philosophy, and Lectures on the Philosophy of History
@@GregoryBSadler Okay Sir. I will try to get my hands on Hegel's lectures on History of Philosophy before getting into his phenomenology.
Thank you for your generous reply. I hope you keep putting out this fantastic content. Really grateful.
Thank you so much my whole spirit feel grateful for your videos.
You're very welcome!
Great series! Would love to see a video on Spinoza
Amazing Greg! You captured the full meaning of this first section and enlightened me even further on the meaning of it. Shining the light on the universal --> an astounding graphic (I love philosophy graphs) of the dialectic of universality 'under the dome of universality lie judgment and knowledge' --> The analogy of Wikipedia, and why we can't just use encyclopedias as teachers (this is important and ironic on many fronts) --> and really, the crux of it all for me, for Hegel here...The particulars of philosophy and science, the anatomy analogy, and the point, I think, that Hegel is making: we must look at ALL philosophy here to date as anatomical parts of the whole--an ever unfolding whole body made up of many anatomical philosophical parts. Nice work Dr. Sadler--keep 'em coming...only 879 episodes to go :)
Well, hopefully, more like only 300 or so to go! Hegel's one of those thinkers who, when one just explains him, has enough richness to "sell himself", so to speak, so the credit really goes to him
I thought the baroque violin solo was a nice way to start the video off. I am an aspiring music educator and I often find myself turning to philosophy to justify music in public schools. Some of the ideas you use in your videos have helped me in that process. Thank you for being so active
You're very welcome!
I'm much more of an amateur, and likely always will be, with music -- but I do have a blog I started as an indulgence for myself, called Heavy Metal Philosopher
Gregory B. Sadler I enjoy a broad range of music-I'm quite the metalhead myself. Can you give me a link to your blog?
heavymetalphilosopher.blogspot.com/
Splendid posts, superbly done.Many, many thanks ......from the U.K.
You're very welcome!
A true man of commitment
1/273 - Your explanations are very clear. It took me multiple reads of the first paragraph to get my own understanding of it, but I was off the mark in some of things he was conveying about the relationship of universals with its particulars, and the role of judgement in how those particulars contribute to the understanding of the universal. Fun stuff.
I'm looking forward to more videos on this series. I've just read some of Hegel's Philosophy of Right and it's just as exciting as it's spirit-breaking.
Hahaha! "spirit-breaking" -- that's a pun, given how much Hegel focuses on spirit
Great series and thank you! I have a comment on Hegel's view about preface to a philosophical work. I am using Hegel's own philosophy in fact. What could be explained in a preface, by the author, can reveal important phenomenological understanding on the subject matter, philosophical or not, therefore arguing against the necessity of a preface or even calling it misleading is a contradiction in itself.
Nah, not really. Keep reading
This awesome Dr. Sadler. Kudos to you for grappling such an opaque book and making it better for us to understand; It's quite a task. I think that this is not for the faint of heart (or faint of brain!) so-to-speak. :)
+C. Nathan Chavez Yes, it's quite a massive undertaking!
you are doing gods work
Great initiative, this will really help me in the challenge of going through this amazing yet difficult work. Thanks a great deal!
You're very welcome!
Blowing my mind. But if you can take the time to arrange these lectures, I can take the time to benefit from them! Thank you!
I think it's going to take a while... life is a journey and all that...
Yes - it's taking me about 5 years to produce them. . .
I'm currently doing a research project for mental health and counseling. I never expected my project would bring me to Hegel, but he is relevant... My project concerns personality disorders.... Personality disorders (PD's) involve a defense against anxiety know as splitting.... People are considered either all good or all bad, and emotions are experienced to the extreme. Part of the therapy for PD's involves reconciling those polarities into an integrated whole. In fact, there is a form of therapy for this purpose know as dialectical behavioral therapy.... I trying to construct a model of personality that accommodates and facilitates the various therapeutic approaches for PD's... I understand the whole thesis, antithesis, synthesis thing, and I always thought that idea came from Hegel... However, i recently learned that Walter Kaufman says that is not true... I hope your videos help me figure this out... I need to sharpen my understanding of the Hegelian dialectic and know which material to source in my bibliography...
Well, I wouldn't really go to Kaufman for my information about Hegel -- there's many better commentators. . .
If you're looking for psycho-therapeutic theorists who discuss Hegel, dialectic, anxiety, and "splitting", I'd steer you towards reading some Lacan and some Kohut
The Hegelian dialectic is considerably more complex -- and useful -- than the Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis schematization that people have tried to reduce it to
Thank you so much for replying to my comment... Hmm, I guess I don't understand the whole thesis-antithesis-synthesis thing after all. I not altogether sure that Marsha LInehan understood it either when she conceived of Dialectical behavioral therapy. I am only trying to tie up one lose end in my project. I'll probably have to go about it a different way, as I honestly don't have the time to spend hundreds of hours studying Hegel. Having said that, I really appreciate what you are doing. It's very generous. You have made me interested in Hegel, and I would like to come back to it when I have more time... Meanwhile, I will take your advice and take check out Lacan and Kohut... Thanks again.
"I suppose youtube viewers of philosophical videos are an unusual bunch"
Most definitely. I'm the most unusual person I know. Looking forward to this series!
I'm actually reading a book on spirituality in the context of Christianity, so I'm sort of interested in how this is going to tie into that, if at all.
Well, it'll comes up already in the Preface, but most of the matters dealing with Religion, particularly Christianity are coming closer to the end
Thank you so much for doing this Professor Sadler. I'm french and I am learning Hegel through Hyppolite and you. I love Rilke too. Lets call this a solitude peuplée !
You're very welcome! Indeed, this could be a shared space of solitude. . .
A little late to the series but I need to thank you for this great start to a series I am looking forward to digging into. I tried reading the preface to this work because (as you mention) it is an important work in the history of philosophy, but found myself a bit too puzzled at times--although I powered through it. I appreciate the effort you took in making this series and I expect it will help me with some of the challenging parts of the text.
Dr: Sadler thanks a lot.
You're welcome!
a year or two after discovering Jordan Peterson I've become a Philosophy monster. Like the cookie monster but with Philosophy. Thanks for this fantastic series of videos Dr Sadler.
You're very welcome!
Alright let's do this. I am currently enrolled in a class on McTaggart, who commented on Hegel in his own special way. I hope this lecture will help me get my own understanding.
+Pinkas Ruth Always happy to see someone embark on studying Hegel. This is video #1 in about 106 that I've produced in the series so far
Regarding the secondary literature I picked up kojeve and another accessible book by a chap called Stephen Houlgate, to be honest even though Houlgate breaks it down into bite sized chunks. I still have to re-read it several times. I also asked someone who studied Hegel at postgrad level for a reading list and they gave me about 100 books so that kinda put me off, this video series will be a great help.
100 books, eh? I can't picture having enough time to work through 100 different commentaries on Hegel!
I've read some of phenomenology of spirit, but stoped when I went to uni a few months ago (for my philosophy module , we're doing Descarte), but I want to get back to it.
The Dialectic for one thing has always been an idea I enjoy. It will be interesting to watch this series.
Hope the videos prove useful for you
