Reason Genealogy and the Hermeneutics of Magnanimity with Robert Brandom

(Visit: www.uctv.tv/) Robert Brandom, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of Pittsburgh, argues that genealogies (Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Foucault) present the revenge of naturalism on rationalism. Hegel teaches us how to replace the genealogical hermeneutics of suspicion with a hermeneutics of magnanimity that allows us to see naturalism and rationalism as complementing rather than competing with one another.

Brandom's ideas about rational magnanimity as an antidote to globalized genealogical naturalism here are very important to many currents that flow through our current age, both from left and right.
I just wish he was more accessible to the general audience. We could learn from his reading of Hegel a great deal.

Brandom is on fire here. Great lecture.

With you there Brad......

"Naturalism" in what sense? I feel like I missed the definition. Not sure how Foucault or Nietzsche are being naturalistic in their hermeneutic theses and models of thought

[@BENICEBLACK]

It's naturalism as the disenchantment of the world. Nietzsche and Focault use genealogy to unmask the attitude dependence of conceptual content, i.e. pointing out the humans (and social context) behind 'truth.'

I suppose it is worth getting to know Hegel's work.

I wonder if Wittgenstein would have torn those concepts to shreds.

[@kyrillpotapov9687]

Nope

[@galek75]

Not in the way you suppose.

[@MrKmanthie]

This is stretching the boundaries of logical thinking a bit - just because HEGEL wrote it doesn't really mean a whole hell of a lot!

Nobody said it did. Such a poor interpreter...
