    This was amazing. I have been struggling with not even the original text, but a 30 page commentary on Phenomenology's preface for the past week, and I have an exam on it on Monday. Your videos have given me hope that philosophy is in fact intelligible :')
    In addition, as a college student I sincerely wish that I could have had a chance to be in your class before I graduate this year. I loved the way you organised the thought and delivered it in a way that even I could understand. I am so grateful, I think I might actually pass my exam on Monday. Thank you Dr. Sadler :')

    I am writing an essay on Hegel and I have been trying to understand this for a week. Yours is the only video I've come across that doesn't oversimplify it and that explains it in an understandable way.

    I am studying at METU which is a famous university in Turkey primarily, but also in the whole world then. Anyway, our lectures are also in English and I have an exam on Sociology. And this video enabled me to get Hegel’s idea. Its not an abstract concept then. I got his idea in a concrete way thanks to you.

    Just when you thought you left Hegel there's suddenly a Hegelian paradigm that crosses into your own thought direction at another time.

    Nice & clear intro - would be nice to understand more fully the meaning of this self-consciousness seeking recognition through other self-consciousness in terms of the world-spirit movement: given that self-consciousness negates itself within itself for its object, is, ultimately, this movement the one consciousness in and as all consciousnesses so there is a kind of semi-anihilation of the particular within the whole? Can any self-consciousness be for-itself besides world gheist?

    • @GregoryBSadler
      @GregoryBSadler  3 года назад

      Every self-consciousness is for-itself, by virtue of being self-consciousness. So, yeah.
      Keep reading and rereading the text

    Hegels self-conciousness is basically what Lacan calls the Ego, making yourself an object.

    • @emmanueloluga9770
      @emmanueloluga9770 4 года назад

      NO. More like the Ego as posited by Lacan is an oversimplification of one of the important elements of consciousness as posited by Hegel. Remember Lacan took some inspiration from Hegel and Freud.

    why is he using something so specific and subjective as desire to define something so abstract like consciousness. this feels like a mix of basic materialistic psychanalysis and complex metaphysics. maybe it seems weird to me because psychanalysis was inveneted much later as a separate subject

    gut gemacht, you could have given the example of the paradox of the lovers, used by kojeve (introduction to the lecture of hegel) and sartre (in being and nothingness), to illustrate the necessity of the independance of the other self-consciousness, it works very good in my view.
