In this twenty-first video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on the forty-eighth and forty-ninth paragraphs of the text, from the Preface.
Here, Hegel discusses the relationship between two interconnected approaches -- the observation of the development of consciousness taking place in the Phenomenology -- and the perspective of the finished, entirely articulated System in the Logic.
He also continues his criticism of reliance on modes of presentation in philosophy which model themselves after mathematics (a topic which he treats in both the Phenomenology and the later Science of Logic. Mathematics and its distinctive mode of cognition works with magnitude and "dead space" (quantity and discreteness in the Logic) -- which is fine for that discipline, but inadequate for understanding living entities and truth as self-movement.
In this video series, I will be working through the entire Phenomenology, paragraph by paragraph -- for each one, first reading the paragraph, and then commenting on what Hegel is doing, referencing, discussing, etc. in that paragraph.
This series is designed to provide an innovative digital resource that will assist students, lifelong learners, professionals, and even other philosophers in studying this classic work by Hegel for generations to come.
I'll be using and referencing the A.V. Miller English-language translation of the Phenomenology, which is available here: amzn.to/1jDUI6w

Sandler is an awesome guide through the morass of philosophy. He brings out the real issue that raised the heat of the cockles of the centuries before us so it likewise germinates heated RUclips arguments. I think Sandler could have coaxed Hegel and others to put forth their arguments more succinctly. However, since he wasn't there back then, we are blessed to have him help us discuss his ruminations lucidly. I for one am grateful for any teacher on any subject that makes that subject directly personally meaningful and Sandler does just that. If you paid to be his student then I think you'll be alright.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video -- the name's Sadler, though.
I have to admit that I'm totally uninterested in having Hegel "put forth [his] arguments more succinctly" -- first off, what he's doing is actually much more phenomenology and exposition rather than just argument; second, reality is complex, and so will any discourse that aims to do justice to it. When you try to summarize real philosophical work -- and I am admittedly doing some of that summary there -- you're losing something in the process which is why I emphasize that videos, textbooks, etc. are not real substitutes for studying the authors straight-on
Haha; I see _After Virtue_ in the background. YAY. (This is emotively appealing to me.)
Thanks!
You're welcome - and thanks!
the next installment in the series. . . Hegel finishes up his critical discussions of reliance on mathematical models for philosophy in modern thought
Well, you are doing a great job so don't change anything!
Hahaha! I'm going to stick with the format, but I think I'm going to have to vary the musical piece, or hearing that same theme 200+ times is going to drive me nuts
Gregory B. Sadler Okay, well change that!
I'm 54. I have very little formal education. Im trying a renaissance. Im starting with hs algebra and statistics. The logic mode, software dev and phliosophy. I understand most of the lingo and allusions you use. I like starting here instead of pre socratic onward. Ill go back another time. This seems to be validation of philosophy for philosophys sake. Is that warm? Im opinionated and make huge silly assumptions sometimes. I appreciate your candor. I like how you smile sometimes, that expression of "you'll see" I have to stop here and read the preface after book arrives. I read the other commenters sometimes. I have to echo a lot of what mandy says. Seems like intuition caused me to latch onto Hegel and Leibniz's monads. So Im starting there. Im a WIP so I want to explore the more systematic and logical, instead of being this Jung Apollonian thing.
Can you explain what you meant by "...it's not adequate to philosophy"? i rewind several times for context but that does elude me
Adequacy to philosophy means something being well thought out and comprehensive enough to do justice to what the discipline of philosophy ought to include or extend to.
Great teacher. Philosophy is "dirty" while science is "clean" and who on earth can deny that!
Preface, sec 48-49 thank you
thanks for this.. ill be waiting for the next videos
You're welcome! Next one will be released on Saturday, if things remain on schedule
The other way this is described is when Sandler interprets Hegel as saying "You can't mathematize everything!
Thanks
You're welcome!
I got my membership, my Oxford '78 edition, and my Kodachrome. I'm ready
No idea what relevance any film would have to this. The only book that's going to be particularly useful for following along here is the Miller translation, linked to in the video description
@@GregoryBSadler It's the Oxford Univeristy translation by AV Miller actually '77. The one I see you holding. Kodachrome is just a silly allusion to the Paul Simon song. He saw the world through his own camera.
Not a Paul Simon fan at all myself. We generally just say "Miller translation"
Off topic, but after Hegel puts all this emphasis on the limits of math, I'm very curious as to what was behind Lacan's decision to couch Hegelian ideas in mathematical operators
Very little of Lacan's work does that, and most of it is quite late. Don't trust summaries - read Lacan's actual texts
ISTM that what Hegel had to say was well summed up by Einstein: "Only Mathematics is perfect". Hegel insists we know that real life is never absolutely quantifiable. This conflict persists. Science is definitely gaining ground but alas so is the view that at the end of the day the phenomena can't be described by the scientific method fast enough or clearly enough to make it less than a bit of a fool's errand. We only know so much. This was Hayek's argument against Keynes... Do you really think you will ever have enough of a grasp of macro economics to reliably predict? But the fact is that the scientific method gets better and better at predicting (and exploiting for gain) actual models while the naysayers just criticize from the sidelines.
the numerical unit is not lifeless. It is a goal to be achieved. If I am to be an integrity, to be one ( the absence of division within and without) I must resolve all inner and outer contradictions: between what I think is real, and what is real. Who I think I am, and who I am. What I say, and what I do. This simplicity is not immediately given. To be an integer implies the totality of what is. This is the only way to be simple, one, and to have peace is to find and reconcile through balance these contraries,
That's a different "numerical unit" than what Hegel's talking about here
Not important but the backwards "s" at 19:23 is a bit interesting.
that's just my messy writing -- it's actually a "c" -- "historical"
Sandler doesn't let on that his own mind is tormented by these philosphical questions but obviously it is.
It used to be, some time ago. Not so much these days. I'm less occupied with puzzling out the questions now, and more with how to effectively teach, speak, write about them
gj
Soon we're finished with the Preface xD xD xD
Downloading with RUclips downloader already.
Indeed -- soon we're done with the Preface. It's not an immediate take-off onto the dialectical autobahn, though. . . we'll have the Introduction to do next!
O.o
ISTM that Hegel was laying down the seeds of the notion that if one person is a drunk then they are doing a bad thing but if 29% of society are drunks then we need to look at what might be busted in society.
Ready to hand sounds a little like 'Doxa'
+lyndon bailey I suppose it could be
In the second paragraph, do you think Hegel has particularly in his sights those kinds of Romantics of his day, especially poets, who saw themselves as inspired geniuses creating works of great beauty and truth for the benefit of humanity? And who considered their inspiration something of a gift or something inexplicable and inaccessible to the majority of people?
It's a natural reaction to the very mechanistic ideas of the early Enlightenment he's just been criticising, but the problem with this kind of Romanticism seems to be twofold: Not only does it resist any demand to account for itself, as genius is just blind fate and not an outcome of processes we can understand; it's also incredibly elitist and even narcissistic. Those without "the gift" will never "get it".
Seems to me that Hegel is suggesting truth is something much more democratic than that...
"Democratic," I suppose, in the sense that one needs to account for one's position -- not that truth gets put to a vote.
Yes, the poets would be among them -- but there were also people in theology and philosophy making that sort of appeal as well
I wanted to add I may inject some Hobbes if Trump is reelected. So far tres interest mon ami.
