@@PhiloofAlexandria absolutely, I watched so many of those I was almost convinced that Schopenhauer was right, the guy was a charlatan! But that didn't reconcile with the profound influence he had. Thanks for a great lesson!
@@PhiloofAlexandria I am struggling to understand. If Hegel believes there is no objective truth that fundamentally originates our perception of reality, and that there are no universal laws, is he denying the existance of multiple individuals? Is he denying that two people can look at something, because there is nothing in themselves to look at, and two cannot exist because our experience says nothing about the nature of other people, and so we cannot assert that other people bear nature? Is he then saying that any statement I make for example, is true, because there is no truth, so any perception I bear on reality is the changing truth of a singular subject, which is the Geist? Then is everything invented, every discovery? Did gravity not exist before it was asserted, was any assertation the truth by simply being asserted? If we all conceptualize that the universe functions in a particular way, then does the universe conform to that conceptualization, because there is no noumena by which it is bound? I don't see how he can posit a finality to the improvement of thought if there is only thought and it is the only thing to exist. Kant makes much more sense, that we process a reality based on something existing. All Hegelian philosophers or philosophers in light of Hegel's idealism are stating that if I was to have schizophrenia and see spiders running up and down my walls, those spiders would wholly exist, inasmuch as anything else exists. Everything that can be thought of exists. As someone with a recently developing passion for philosophy, how is it then that there are so many philosophers that deny the existance of God? Is philosophical atheism distinct from the atheism of the masses? Any assertions of any existance fundamentally asserts a principle of order, or of a will, or most importantly of any sort of unconditional claim. Those always correspond with God. What am I missing, and where do I need to look to understand atheism?
Great video, which helps in approaching Hegel. Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis is overemphasised as generally doesn't occur in Hegel in this way; it certainly is true that Hegel talks about something being negated and 'aufgehoben'/Aufhebung to reach a higher synthesis. This embodies how a concept is developed rather than in static propositions.

Thank you! Until now my only exposure to Hegel has been the merciless constant roasting of Hegel in Schopenhauer…I’m trying to get a more balanced view. Your reference to potentially causeless events in QM was really on point.

@@nathanhasegawa4937 I FORGOT no it went really well, 9/10 in European marks, I wasn’t perfect with the notes and such, but the teacher saw that I understood the subject as a topic of thought and daily experience, which got me the good grade. I’m really glad I found videos like this
0:00 Hegel "One of The Last Great System Builders" (what does that mean?) 8:26 Get rid of the Thing-In-Itself 10:30 Eras of Existence Time Makes Differences
So my understanding now is that in Hegel's view the ''noumena'' of Kant as being filtered through the categories themselves, and thus we cannot say anything about that at all. So does this not make Hegel a bit of a Solipsist, because if there is no reason to believe in the ''noumena'' than are we not only left with mind?
No -- Hegel's point is that the idea of noumena is a bad one (that there is no thing-in-itself), not that the noumena of Kant actually exist but are inaccessible.
In no way whatsoever does Hegel claim that “whatever is, is right.” That is just egregiously wrong. Whatever outdated secondary source is being relied upon here is misinterpreting a claim for the Preface to the Elements of the Philosophy of Right that no one who has read the Logic would make and which, moreover, he directly addresses in the prefatory matter in the Encyclopedia: that which is actual [wirklich] is *definitionally* adequate to its rational concept (§6R). Not everything that just is [Dasein] or appears in existence [Existenz] is actual-much less right [Recht]. As much as I appreciate the effort to provide a sympathetic reading of Hegel, most of this is just plain wrong. An imperfect (of course) but highly accessible overview of Hegel’s thought is Stephen Houlgate’s Introduction to Hegel. Just in case anyone is interested. Terry Pinkard’s intellectual biography is also quite accessible to a general/undergraduate reader. (His interpretation is worse that Houlgate’s, but it’s still a fine place to start.)
Hegel denounces Kant's idealism but doesn't really offer an explanation of how the mind works. Can you point to literature where Hegel's attempts to explain the mind instead of just explaining how the environment changes the mind when interacting with it (which this video explained)?
20:36 is not actually a part of Hegel's system of thought. See The Hegel Myths and Legends, Chapter 20 (in part 6) The Hegel Legend of "Thesis-Antithesis Synthesis" by Gustav E. Mueller
@DanielBonevac. I would like to know what are your thoughts on what justifies the synthesis between thesis and antithesis. Presumably, we would eliminate any contradictions between them as we would aim at avoiding breaking other logical laws. However, if this enough for synthesis? When is a synthesis warranted? Thank you
the concept of thesis antithesis synthesis is in itself a synthesis of logic and illogic. hegel's beliefs encourage the breakdown of reason and destruction of objectivity in favor of subjectivity.
Where does a priori knowledge come from ? Is it just present in our mind always if yes then how is this different from solipsism as there is always knowledge about the world in me but i do learn new concepts , and if there is no divide of sensibility with perception then when i see a pair of pants i already have the sensibility to know that there are pants and i have to wear them but that is not true because i had to learn that i had to wear pants i did not know it since birth and i didn't even know what pants are since birth .
The appendix stores good bacteria for your gut/immune system. When the body senses infection and we get diarrhea, the body becomes void of good bacteria, which is stored by the appendix for such occurrences. In the ancient world, the appendix was a necessity because of how often we came into contact with diarrhea inducing foods, water, etc. In the clean modern world, where diarrhea is less frequent, the appendix is less useful and sometimes even bursts from being infected itself. Ignorance is more abundant that farther back we go in time, which is why ancient wisdoms seems so strange to us now. Knowing the Thing was very different in our recent and ancient past because nearly nothing made rational sense.
Yes, though he uses a dialectical form of reasoning frequently-so frequently, in fact, that it's hard to understand what goes on in The Phenomenology of Spirit without that concept.
objective reality doesn't care about subjectivity and nor do i. align oneself with reality, instead of pretending to align reality with the self and perverting logic, reason, and understanding
Two impressions: Everything after Aristotle is a waste of time. You would gain more ontological insight by conversing with an intelligent auto mechanic than any post 18th century philosopher.
Basically what we have here with Hegel is Darwin manifesting as a philosopher i.e. the Phenomenology of Spirit is Darwin's theory of natural selection and evolution in the garb of Western traditional philosophy. Also we can see here where post-modernism has its philosophical roots where everything is a social construct. In the end I don't believe Hegel but side with Soren Kierkegaard and Socrates.
@@jwu1950 stop being presumptuous with your comment to me here. I've studied the I Ching for about 40 years. In fact in my heart of hearts I consider myself a Taoist. So now what's your point?
Oh goodness, it sometimes gets tiring trying to correct newcomers to Hegel's philosophy. It is pretty easy to always accept a creative misreading of Hegel as conclusive, especially in light of the kind of writer he was. First off, Hegel came decades before Darwin and has a far richer and more reaching conceptualization of everything humans try to muse about. Drawing comparisons and concluding on the exactness of two different individuals is always going to be an exact superficial synopsis of their work, whether or not it is even possible one copied/imitated the other. I won't even comment on the post-modernism bit for now, but know that post-modernism was an exact act of rebellion against many elements of Hegel's thought (using mostly Nietzsche and Marx) and his overall oeuvre; so much so that perverted distortion of his thought (initiated most successfully by Marx, among others) still looms in the psyche of that tradition today. Also, if it's any consolidation to you, it's good if you know that Kierkegaard essentially got all of his elements and inspiration from Hegel. In fact, even the one subject matter that eventually resulted in Kierkegaard's unwarranted critic and distortion of Hegel's thought, which was on the subject of the individual..was entirely wrong. If you side with Socrates, then you also will have to acknowledge Hegel's work as they both make use of dialectics, only for Hegel he explicates it as a logical system following in the steps of Aristotle.
"Should you ever intend to dull the wits of a young man and to incapacitate his brains for any kind of thought whatever, then you cannot do better than give him Hegel to read. For these monstrous accumulations of words that annul and contradict one another drive the mind into tormenting itself with vain attempts to think anything whatever in connection with them, until finally it collapses from sheer exhaustion. Thus any ability to think is so thoroughly destroyed that the young man will ultimately mistake empty and hollow verbiage for real thought. A guardian fearing that his ward might become too intelligent for his schemes might prevent this misfortune by innocently suggesting the reading of Hegel." - Schopenhauer
@@galek75 His astute grasp of Hegel. A grasp that is only available to those that have read him; one cannot fathom the sheer extent of Hegel's intellectual fraudulence without having read him.
One of my teachers, Adolf Grunbaum, when asked his views on Lacan, answered, "I refuse to read anyone who doesn't want to be understood." :) Partly due to his influence, I haven't read Lacan, so I don't know whether that's a fair criticism or not.
@@PhiloofAlexandria hahaha that’s some classic French intellectualism. To be honest, I don’t read almost any source Lacan, but more so through people like Zizek who iterate the same ideas through a more familiar medium Lacan is definitely a man of obscurity by many measures, but I find it to be preferable to the awkward eroticism of other variants of psychoanalysis like Freud.
23:50 : . just want to give you a better example to use: THESIS: TRUTH ANTITHESIS: ERROR. With every truth: partial error. With every error: partial truth. This is how thought progresses.... we take error and use it towards a greater understanding of the world... although we will never reach an absolute truth. Edit: nevermind I see you did that later on....
When I was young I benefited enormously from the study of philosophy. It's good to see the ideas of these great minds being so clearly explained to a new generation of philosophy students.

A few current continental philosophers that I know of (for the life of me I can't think of any of their names at the moment 😃) say that Hegel believed that "contradiction" is the ultimate root of everything: every affirmation contains contradictions that give rise to negation, on and on pretty much forever...aka the heart of the Universe itself is contradiction. They say the basic thesis-antithesis-synthesis system is a slight misreading of his work since he didn't affirm "progress" like a "Young Hegelian" like Marx did. What later people called synthesis, Hegel wouldn't necessarily have thought was progressively better. ( Hegel was apparently a "bad" writer even though he was a great thinker, and his lack of clarity led to later people all reading something different into his work.) I dunno, but I find it all fascinating. Thanks for the video!

Wow. That is a weirdly psychological reading of the first Critique. (Not a lot of Kant scholars on board with that…) Also, massively wrong about Hegel. Hegel is not a relativist, nor is he a pluralist. And I would really reserve the term “historicist” for Herder, Humboldt, Dilthey, et al. Hegel’s philosophical histories - world history, art history, religion, philosophy - are systematic reconstructions in accordance with the logic of the concept [Begriff]. Perhaps most importantly, the dialectic of pure self-thinking thought - Aristotle’s nous, not any particular thinking individual - presented in the Logic is (or so he everywhere claims) ahistorical, eternal-the immanent unfolding of that which constantly, unavoidably asserts itself [die Sache]. This, in fact - and nothing else, nothing more - is the absolute: the entirely self-conditioned activity of self-knowing in art, religion, and logic.

Very good video; thank you for your clear and honest portrayal of Hegel. I am surprised at how convincing his pseudo-intellectualism has been over the centuries.
the funny thing is, if you burnt every hegel book in existence, anybody could still recreate his logic just through the critique of kant. sorry kid, hegel is inevitable.
@@postholocene Hegel happened, thus making "inevitability" a bit of a nonsequitur when discussing his ideas. On the other hand, calling his ideas "logic" does a great disservice to logicians everywhere.
This is a good and helpful lecture, but I always cringe when people describe Hegel's dialectic in terms of thesis, antithesis, synthesis. That was Fichte's idea, not Hegel's. Hegel is much more profound than that. Hegel's dialectic is about sublation, not synthesis; that is, finding truth in how moments of thought reflect each other, how they both negate and preserve each other. The Stanford Encyclopedia article entitled "Hegel's Dialectic" does a good job of showing the problems with thinking about Hegel in terms of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.
Good summary for 34 minutes, but is too sympathetic to Hegel. Leonard Peikoff's commentary on Hegel is far more critical, and for good reason. As stated here, there is nothing special about thesis/antithesis/synthesis. If you make it so generic, it's essentially just saying: Ideas change over time, we fix many issues, but we also have some regressions along the way, and the process goes on. This is trivial mainstream scientific thinking. Francis Bacon died in 1626 and Hegel was born in 1770. Hegel made much more bombastic claims. The Absolute Mind is all there is. The physical world is simply one of the steps in its developmental process. He borrows the word Categories from Kant, but instead of Categories of the human mind, they're now categories of the Absolute Mind (since it is all that exists). The Antithesis isn't external to the Thesis, but a contradiction contained within the Thesis itself. His first three categories are Being, Non-Being, and Becoming. He describes Being as general, abstract being. Just Being. Not being something in particular. Such a being has no characteristics, and is the absence of anything. It's nothing. It's Non Being. So Being (Thesis) gives rise to Non-Being (Antithesis). If a philosophically uncorrupted individual reached this conclusion, they would stop and think "I made a terrible mistake somewhere." But not Hegel. He marches on. This is fantastic from the get go: To BE is to be SOMETHING in particular. If you start with the notion of "being nothing in particular", you're starting with Non-Being. Hegel was a piss poor writer, so we cannot know for sure if he really was a great thinker. The glorification of philosophers who cannot express their thoughts in clear, simple, organized language, is largely a result of people thinking: Everyone else seems to think he's great, he must be great. I can't understand what he's saying, he must be smart! It reminds me of the Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen.
Yep. And for another example of your last paragraph, look no further than to Judith Butler and the influence she’s received from her incoherent bafflegab.
When Hegel talks about this expression of social cohesion in his Elements of the Philosophy of Right, he talks about the effect called Pobel. It is perfectly a result of this vicious feedback loop of transformation within itself. Nice lesson Professor Bonevac, as a student I would like to know if you could more in the future get into the topic that Quine aborts in The Roots of Reference, when he relates a notion in Berkeley about a two-dimensional dynamism and an answer present in Gestalt Psychology.

This video presented a very lucid and coherent system which is ultimately my problem with it. Hegel had a an ambivalent relationship with the Law of Identity, and objected to attempts to treat logic as a set of formal operations devoid of conceptual content. As is often pointed out by Hegelophiles (to coin a term) the “thesis-antithesis-synthesis” formulation of dialectical logic seems to have been deliberately avoided by him since he never used those terms. . .which apparently come from Fichte. Is it any wonder then that most people simply don’t understand him and even people who make a deep study of him have different interpretations of his work? It is sad that Fichte and Schelling get glossed over in the mad rush to get from discussions of Kant to Hegel. Hegel built on a lot of ideas from them, and the transition from Kant to Fichte is a lot more natural than Kant to Hegel.
brilliant video, i am confused about the conclusion made about norms of a specific time being the rational outcome of its historical background. why adapt the social norms when we can negate them to at least attempt to get closer to the absolute knowledge?
Would love to hear from @Daniel Bonevac why no one is interested in Schopenhauer, He has always been my first and last favorite philosopher, he introduced me to kant, hegel, and while I find the most relaxation in reading marx currently, I Still want to know why everyone is so Allergic to Arthur Schopnhauer ? :( . I value and appreciated this channel, and I think you're a great teacher and very explicative. Maybe a video coming soon ?
This was a great introduction to hegel. I think that kant was epistimologically metaphysic and hegel metaphysically epistomological. I think that kant (the one ive read) proved his point on what we can know, say, and understand with certainty, very little. but hegel seems more like the existentialist type dealing with why what how of the way that he personally thinks of the world. I will dust off that copy of phenomology of spirit soon now that im interested.
The idea of progress of the universal Geist reminds me of a similar vision of eventual “universal enlightenment” in Mahayana Buddhism, and also in the writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, like The Phenomenon of Man.
We can never say empirically that all knowledge comes through sense data. There is no empirical way to establish the starting points and the same mental categories, per Kant.

Photons, light are dual -- the colour black is dual to the colour white. Colour in physics is represented by differing frequencies of the same substance namely pure energy. Same is dual to different. The lack of colour, black is perceived as a colour, colour is dual and hence pure energy is dual. The 5th law is completely consistent with the Hegelian metaphysic. Duality creates reality!

@@PhiloofAlexandria absolutely, I watched so many of those I was almost convinced that Schopenhauer was right, the guy was a charlatan! But that didn't reconcile with the profound influence he had. Thanks for a great lesson!
@@PhiloofAlexandria I am struggling to understand. If Hegel believes there is no objective truth that fundamentally originates our perception of reality, and that there are no universal laws, is he denying the existance of multiple individuals? Is he denying that two people can look at something, because there is nothing in themselves to look at, and two cannot exist because our experience says nothing about the nature of other people, and so we cannot assert that other people bear nature? Is he then saying that any statement I make for example, is true, because there is no truth, so any perception I bear on reality is the changing truth of a singular subject, which is the Geist? Then is everything invented, every discovery? Did gravity not exist before it was asserted, was any assertation the truth by simply being asserted? If we all conceptualize that the universe functions in a particular way, then does the universe conform to that conceptualization, because there is no noumena by which it is bound? I don't see how he can posit a finality to the improvement of thought if there is only thought and it is the only thing to exist.
Kant makes much more sense, that we process a reality based on something existing. All Hegelian philosophers or philosophers in light of Hegel's idealism are stating that if I was to have schizophrenia and see spiders running up and down my walls, those spiders would wholly exist, inasmuch as anything else exists. Everything that can be thought of exists.
As someone with a recently developing passion for philosophy, how is it then that there are so many philosophers that deny the existance of God? Is philosophical atheism distinct from the atheism of the masses? Any assertions of any existance fundamentally asserts a principle of order, or of a will, or most importantly of any sort of unconditional claim. Those always correspond with God. What am I missing, and where do I need to look to understand atheism?
Great video, which helps in approaching Hegel. Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis is overemphasised as generally doesn't occur in Hegel in this way; it certainly is true that Hegel talks about something being negated and 'aufgehoben'/Aufhebung to reach a higher synthesis. This embodies how a concept is developed rather than in static propositions.

So my understanding now is that in Hegel's view the ''noumena'' of Kant as being filtered through the categories themselves, and thus we cannot say anything about that at all. So does this not make Hegel a bit of a Solipsist, because if there is no reason to believe in the ''noumena'' than are we not only left with mind?
No -- Hegel's point is that the idea of noumena is a bad one (that there is no thing-in-itself), not that the noumena of Kant actually exist but are inaccessible.
Excellent job explaining very complex concepts

SOOOOO GOOOD! thanks.
In no way whatsoever does Hegel claim that “whatever is, is right.” That is just egregiously wrong.
Whatever outdated secondary source is being relied upon here is misinterpreting a claim for the Preface to the Elements of the Philosophy of Right that no one who has read the Logic would make and which, moreover, he directly addresses in the prefatory matter in the Encyclopedia: that which is actual [wirklich] is *definitionally* adequate to its rational concept (§6R). Not everything that just is [Dasein] or appears in existence [Existenz] is actual-much less right [Recht].
As much as I appreciate the effort to provide a sympathetic reading of Hegel, most of this is just plain wrong.
An imperfect (of course) but highly accessible overview of Hegel’s thought is Stephen Houlgate’s Introduction to Hegel. Just in case anyone is interested. Terry Pinkard’s intellectual biography is also quite accessible to a general/undergraduate reader. (His interpretation is worse that Houlgate’s, but it’s still a fine place to start.)
Hegel denounces Kant's idealism but doesn't really offer an explanation of how the mind works. Can you point to literature where Hegel's attempts to explain the mind instead of just explaining how the environment changes the mind when interacting with it (which this video explained)?
Research scholarly works on the science of logic and the Philosophy of Spirit.
Hello, I am interested in Hegels view of language. I can’t find anything on this topic. Can you recommend some sources? Thank you!
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all of it 34:42
20:36 is not actually a part of Hegel's system of thought. See The Hegel Myths and Legends, Chapter 20 (in part 6) The Hegel Legend of "Thesis-Antithesis Synthesis" by Gustav E. Mueller
maybe I just don't understand, but this seems to be a very simple concept conveyed in very complicated terms....
@DanielBonevac. I would like to know what are your thoughts on what justifies the synthesis between thesis and antithesis. Presumably, we would eliminate any contradictions between them as we would aim at avoiding breaking other logical laws. However, if this enough for synthesis? When is a synthesis warranted? Thank you
That's an interesting and difficult question! I need to think about that.
the concept of thesis antithesis synthesis is in itself a synthesis of logic and illogic. hegel's beliefs encourage the breakdown of reason and destruction of objectivity in favor of subjectivity.
isn't this fichte's idea?
It sounds the way sherlock holmes thinks in. It is very smilar way. If i havent misunderstanding
Where does a priori knowledge come from ? Is it just present in our mind always if yes then how is this different from solipsism as there is always knowledge about the world in me but i do learn new concepts , and if there is no divide of sensibility with perception then when i see a pair of pants i already have the sensibility to know that there are pants and i have to wear them but that is not true because i had to learn that i had to wear pants i did not know it since birth and i didn't even know what pants are since birth .
The appendix stores good bacteria for your gut/immune system. When the body senses infection and we get diarrhea, the body becomes void of good bacteria, which is stored by the appendix for such occurrences. In the ancient world, the appendix was a necessity because of how often we came into contact with diarrhea inducing foods, water, etc. In the clean modern world, where diarrhea is less frequent, the appendix is less useful and sometimes even bursts from being infected itself. Ignorance is more abundant that farther back we go in time, which is why ancient wisdoms seems so strange to us now. Knowing the Thing was very different in our recent and ancient past because nearly nothing made rational sense.
I heard on another video that hegel doesnt propose dialectic, rather he makes fun of the idea. Is that correct?
Yes, though he uses a dialectical form of reasoning frequently-so frequently, in fact, that it's hard to understand what goes on in The Phenomenology of Spirit without that concept.
objective reality doesn't care about subjectivity and nor do i. align oneself with reality, instead of pretending to align reality with the self and perverting logic, reason, and understanding

Two impressions:
Everything after Aristotle is a waste of time.
You would gain more ontological insight by conversing with an intelligent auto mechanic than any post 18th century philosopher.
Basically what we have here with Hegel is Darwin manifesting as a philosopher i.e. the Phenomenology of Spirit is Darwin's theory of natural selection and evolution in the garb of Western traditional philosophy. Also we can see here where post-modernism has its philosophical roots where everything is a social construct. In the end I don't believe Hegel but side with Soren Kierkegaard and Socrates.
You better study I-Ching.

@@jwu1950 stop being presumptuous with your comment to me here. I've studied the I Ching for about 40 years. In fact in my heart of hearts I consider myself a Taoist. So now what's your point?
@@grosbeak6130 My point is Evolution is a fairytale. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
Oh goodness, it sometimes gets tiring trying to correct newcomers to Hegel's philosophy. It is pretty easy to always accept a creative misreading of Hegel as conclusive, especially in light of the kind of writer he was.
First off, Hegel came decades before Darwin and has a far richer and more reaching conceptualization of everything humans try to muse about. Drawing comparisons and concluding on the exactness of two different individuals is always going to be an exact superficial synopsis of their work, whether or not it is even possible one copied/imitated the other.
I won't even comment on the post-modernism bit for now, but know that post-modernism was an exact act of rebellion against many elements of Hegel's thought (using mostly Nietzsche and Marx) and his overall oeuvre; so much so that perverted distortion of his thought (initiated most successfully by Marx, among others) still looms in the psyche of that tradition today.
Also, if it's any consolidation to you, it's good if you know that Kierkegaard essentially got all of his elements and inspiration from Hegel. In fact, even the one subject matter that eventually resulted in Kierkegaard's unwarranted critic and distortion of Hegel's thought, which was on the subject of the individual..was entirely wrong.
If you side with Socrates, then you also will have to acknowledge Hegel's work as they both make use of dialectics, only for Hegel he explicates it as a logical system following in the steps of Aristotle.
"Should you ever intend to dull the wits of a young man and to incapacitate his brains for any kind of thought whatever, then you cannot do better than give him Hegel to read. For these monstrous accumulations of words that annul and contradict one another drive the mind into tormenting itself with vain attempts to think anything whatever in connection with them, until finally it collapses from sheer exhaustion. Thus any ability to think is so thoroughly destroyed that the young man will ultimately mistake empty and hollow verbiage for real thought. A guardian fearing that his ward might become too intelligent for his schemes might prevent this misfortune by innocently suggesting the reading of Hegel." - Schopenhauer

Edit: nevermind I see you did that later on....

Thesis -> antithesis -> synthesis is not Hegel
Hmmm… that’s not what Caesar told me…
Talking about Hegel is such an undertaking, thank you so much professor for summing it up so well.
A few current continental philosophers that I know of (for the life of me I can't think of any of their names at the moment 😃) say that Hegel believed that "contradiction" is the ultimate root of everything: every affirmation contains contradictions that give rise to negation, on and on pretty much forever...aka the heart of the Universe itself is contradiction. They say the basic thesis-antithesis-synthesis system is a slight misreading of his work since he didn't affirm "progress" like a "Young Hegelian" like Marx did. What later people called synthesis, Hegel wouldn't necessarily have thought was progressively better. ( Hegel was apparently a "bad" writer even though he was a great thinker, and his lack of clarity led to later people all reading something different into his work.) I dunno, but I find it all fascinating. Thanks for the video!

@@Javier-il1xi Those are some of the people belonging to the party that purports a left-leaning Immanent interpretation of Hegel.
Wow. That is a weirdly psychological reading of the first Critique. (Not a lot of Kant scholars on board with that…)
Also, massively wrong about Hegel.
Hegel is not a relativist, nor is he a pluralist. And I would really reserve the term “historicist” for Herder, Humboldt, Dilthey, et al. Hegel’s philosophical histories - world history, art history, religion, philosophy - are systematic reconstructions in accordance with the logic of the concept [Begriff].
Perhaps most importantly, the dialectic of pure self-thinking thought - Aristotle’s nous, not any particular thinking individual - presented in the Logic is (or so he everywhere claims) ahistorical, eternal-the immanent unfolding of that which constantly, unavoidably asserts itself [die Sache].
This, in fact - and nothing else, nothing more - is the absolute: the entirely self-conditioned activity of self-knowing in art, religion, and logic.
I hope you will do more on Hegel. Bravo!
my opinion on this video is constantly changing...
This is one damn good lecture on Hegel, for which we give our most heartfelt thanks.
Being is dual to non-being creates becoming -- Plato.
Thesis is dual to anti-thesis creates converging thesis or synthesis -- the time independent Hegelian dialectic.
Problem (thesis), reaction (anti-thesis), solution (synthesis) -- the time dependent Hegelian dialectic.
Mind (the internal soul, syntropy) is dual to matter (the external soul, entropy) -- Descartes.
Concepts are dual to percepts -- the mind duality of Immanuel Kant.
The intellectual mind/soul (concepts) is dual to the sensory mind/soul (percepts) -- the mind duality of Thomas Aquinas.
Mind duality is dual to matter duality.
Matter duality: Bosons (waves) are dual to Fermions (particles) -- wave/particle or quantum duality.
Active matter (life) is dual to passive matter (atoms, forces).
Noumenal is dual to phenomenal -- Immanuel Kant.
Hegel's cat: Alive (thesis, being) is dual to not-alive (anti-thesis, non-being) -- Schrodinger's or Plato's cat.
The Einstein reality criterion:-
"If, without in any way disturbing a system, we can predict with certainty (i.e., with probability equal to unity)
the value of a physical quantity, then there exists an element of reality corresponding to that quantity."
(Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen 1935, p. 777)

According to Einstein we predict or project reality into existence, this is a syntropic process!
Thinking is a syntropic process, entropy or information is converted into mutual information to form predictions, projections.
"Through imagination and reason we turn experience into foresight (prediction)" -- Spinoza describing syntropy.
Predictions are used to track targets -- teleology.
Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non-teleological physics (entropy).
Syntropy (prediction, projection) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics!
@Evan Hodge The conservation of duality (energy) will be known as the 5th law of thermodynamics, energy is duality, duality is energy.
Gravitation is equivalent or dual to acceleration -- Einstein's happiest thought, the principle of equivalence (duality).
Potential energy is dual to kinetic energy, gravitational energy is dual.
Apples fall to the ground because they are conserving duality.
Action is dual to reaction -- Sir Isaac Newton.
Hegelian, Platonic philosophy is completely compatible with modern physics.
Questions are dual to answers.
A really nice video about Hegel!
As a German I am really impressed by your pronunciation of German words used by Hegel
Did Hegel actually use Thesis, Anthesis, Synthesis? I thought those were concepts from Fichte.
I think he uses them, but doesn't present them explicitly.
@@PhiloofAlexandria He never uses them.
@@PhiloofAlexandria he never uses them. He even criticizes Kant for using them.
@@snusk741then, for the love of God, why 99.9% of textbooks and philosophy videos attribute those concepts to Hegel?
Only in moving on to Hegel did I then get a more solid grasp of Kant. Excellent video!
The thesIs, antithesis and then ...😴😴😴😪👍thanks Hagel
Very good video; thank you for your clear and honest portrayal of Hegel. I am surprised at how convincing his pseudo-intellectualism has been over the centuries.
the funny thing is, if you burnt every hegel book in existence, anybody could still recreate his logic just through the critique of kant. sorry kid, hegel is inevitable.
@@postholocene Hegel happened, thus making "inevitability" a bit of a nonsequitur when discussing his ideas. On the other hand, calling his ideas "logic" does a great disservice to logicians everywhere.
So thought and thinking are perpetual error-correction.
This reminds me of
Wilfrid Sellars' work on the manifest image vs the scientific image
This is a good and helpful lecture, but I always cringe when people describe Hegel's dialectic in terms of thesis, antithesis, synthesis. That was Fichte's idea, not Hegel's. Hegel is much more profound than that. Hegel's dialectic is about sublation, not synthesis; that is, finding truth in how moments of thought reflect each other, how they both negate and preserve each other. The Stanford Encyclopedia article entitled "Hegel's Dialectic" does a good job of showing the problems with thinking about Hegel in terms of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.
Good summary for 34 minutes, but is too sympathetic to Hegel. Leonard Peikoff's commentary on Hegel is far more critical, and for good reason.
As stated here, there is nothing special about thesis/antithesis/synthesis. If you make it so generic, it's essentially just saying: Ideas change over time, we fix many issues, but we also have some regressions along the way, and the process goes on. This is trivial mainstream scientific thinking. Francis Bacon died in 1626 and Hegel was born in 1770.
Hegel made much more bombastic claims. The Absolute Mind is all there is. The physical world is simply one of the steps in its developmental process. He borrows the word Categories from Kant, but instead of Categories of the human mind, they're now categories of the Absolute Mind (since it is all that exists). The Antithesis isn't external to the Thesis, but a contradiction contained within the Thesis itself. His first three categories are Being, Non-Being, and Becoming.
He describes Being as general, abstract being. Just Being. Not being something in particular. Such a being has no characteristics, and is the absence of anything. It's nothing. It's Non Being. So Being (Thesis) gives rise to Non-Being (Antithesis). If a philosophically uncorrupted individual reached this conclusion, they would stop and think "I made a terrible mistake somewhere." But not Hegel. He marches on. This is fantastic from the get go: To BE is to be SOMETHING in particular. If you start with the notion of "being nothing in particular", you're starting with Non-Being.
Hegel was a piss poor writer, so we cannot know for sure if he really was a great thinker. The glorification of philosophers who cannot express their thoughts in clear, simple, organized language, is largely a result of people thinking: Everyone else seems to think he's great, he must be great. I can't understand what he's saying, he must be smart! It reminds me of the Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen.
Yep. And for another example of your last paragraph, look no further than to Judith Butler and the influence she’s received from her incoherent bafflegab.
What if the aufgehaben is wrong?
When Hegel talks about this expression of social cohesion in his Elements of the Philosophy of Right, he talks about the effect called Pobel. It is perfectly a result of this vicious feedback loop of transformation within itself.
Nice lesson Professor Bonevac, as a student I would like to know if you could more in the future get into the topic that Quine aborts in The Roots of Reference, when he relates a notion in Berkeley about a two-dimensional dynamism and an answer present in Gestalt Psychology. Greetings from Brazil.

Nice video and I found it helpful thanks Prof. I wish you nice year 2021:)
I loved listening to your discussion, those little jokes really helped liven the lesson. Thank you for this.
One of the best videos explaining the complicated world of Hegel.
You are an amazing teacher! Keep it up
I cannot express in words how grateful I am for your channel. This video blew my mind and finally made sense of Hegel for me. You are a masterful instructor - please keep up the incredible work!

Sir, really helpful. You teaching is clear and lucid. We need more videos from you on contemporary philosophers.. 🙏👍
From India.
This video presented a very lucid and coherent system which is ultimately my problem with it. Hegel had a an ambivalent relationship with the Law of Identity, and objected to attempts to treat logic as a set of formal operations devoid of conceptual content. As is often pointed out by Hegelophiles (to coin a term) the “thesis-antithesis-synthesis” formulation of dialectical logic seems to have been deliberately avoided by him since he never used those terms. . .which apparently come from Fichte. Is it any wonder then that most people simply don’t understand him and even people who make a deep study of him have different interpretations of his work? It is sad that Fichte and Schelling get glossed over in the mad rush to get from discussions of Kant to Hegel. Hegel built on a lot of ideas from them, and the transition from Kant to Fichte is a lot more natural than Kant to Hegel.
brilliant video, i am confused about the conclusion made about norms of a specific time being the rational outcome of its historical background. why adapt the social norms when we can negate them to at least attempt to get closer to the absolute knowledge?
I WAS WATCHING ONE PEACE AND THOUGHT LUFFY IS THE PERFACT EXPLAMPLE OF "THE PHILOSOPHY OF HEGAL"....
This is super helpful and engaging. Thanks so much for making this available!
You're so welcome!
Great and animated lecture!
thanks for your work.
This is the most comprehensive video on hegel I’ve found so far, thank u for uploading habibi
Would love to hear from @Daniel Bonevac why no one is interested in Schopenhauer, He has always been my first and last favorite philosopher, he introduced me to kant, hegel, and while I find the most relaxation in reading marx currently, I Still want to know why everyone is so Allergic to Arthur Schopnhauer ? :( . I value and appreciated this channel, and I think you're a great teacher and very explicative. Maybe a video coming soon ?
This was a great introduction to hegel. I think that kant was epistimologically metaphysic and hegel metaphysically epistomological. I think that kant (the one ive read) proved his point on what we can know, say, and understand with certainty, very little. but hegel seems more like the existentialist type dealing with why what how of the way that he personally thinks of the world. I will dust off that copy of phenomology of spirit soon now that im interested.
Thank you for this. Hegel has never clicked for me until this video.
The idea of progress of the universal Geist reminds me of a similar vision of eventual “universal enlightenment” in Mahayana Buddhism, and also in the writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, like The Phenomenon of Man.
We can never say empirically that all knowledge comes through sense data. There is no empirical way to establish the starting points and the same mental categories, per Kant.
Dont listen to this guy about Hegel. Hegel never even once mentioned Thesis-Anthesis-Synthesis. Its actually a concept from Fichte.
Hegel's dialectic has as much to do with logic as ontomythologizing ( Nietzsche's term ) has to do with reality.
I havent finished the vidoe yet but at 12 mins in it sounds liks Kant and especially Hagel are dancing around the scientific concept of relativity.
Philosophy is just a lot of BS what is going to come down in the end when you stand before God and judgement Day how did you live your life did you live for Jesus or for yourself
this was posted on my birthday ! epic
