A Hegelian Life: Dialogue with Stephen Houlgate
Stephen Houlgate's "Hegel on Being": www.amazon.com/Hegel-Being-Stephen-Houlgate/dp/1350458589/
Enrol in my German Idealism course here: halkyonacademy.teachable.com/p/introduction-to-german-idealism-from-kant-to-hegel1

In this wide-ranging dialogue Professor Stephen Houlgate and Johannes Niederhauser discuss what it means to lead a Hegelian life - a practice which Houlgate has been enacting for the past forty years of his life. Houlgate was initially drawn more towards Nietzsche but found that with Nietzsche’s philosophy there are severe shortcomings when it comes to precise and clear vision of what institutions and the state are supposed to look like.
With Hegel we find such a clear vision spelled out. Even and especially Hegel’s magnum opus the Science of Logic forms part of this vision insofar as here the modern demand of freedom is exercised on the highest level in thought and being. The inherent dialectic in “pure Being” as it unfolds and self-complexifies and depurifies, since it cannot hold on to itself, itself reveals precisely the dialectic of reason.
We consider throughout this dialogue what it means to lead a Hegelian ethical life, what proper institutions based on mutual recognition should look like, and how we have not yet truly arrived at Hegel’s philosophy and presuppositionless thought.
It is the achievement of Stephen Houlgate of having not only translated the letter but also and especially the spirit of Hegel’s thought into English and the English spirit. Houlgate has furthermore also as one of the first and few about taken seriously and shown why we must take seriously Hegel’s claim to presuppositionless thought after Kant.

    Recently I was reading some 19th century orientalists who went to the far corners of the world, and one can critique them for all they like (and one might make a point), but at least the orientalists took time to properly learn the language and write extensively on their experiences.

    ... Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

    If I'm terrifying by the awful truth of an evil witch god, does that mean I'm doing excellent philosophy? Is it the case that enacting a feeling of terror is a necessary entailment of uhhh perceiving the truth? Is this perceived truth a universally accessible truth? How do you know if you perceived it correctly? Only if you also enact the feeling of "terror"?

    Kant, Schopenhauer, Whitehead and Hartshorne create a complete system of Aryan metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics. Descartes, Spinoza, and Hegel, lead to transhumanism, Marxism, and submission to technocapitalism.

  • @newparadigmfish
    @newparadigmfish Před 14 dny

    Try this on for size. I am what outside the box sounds like. And no, you haven’t heard this before. I am a set of a’ priori modes, not a body of limbs and organs. We need to move beyond the notion of “We”. Human is a loose notion at best. In essence, the body/conduit has no fixed predicate in the abstract lens so the premise is incorrect. What is it of us, that knows this? Until we know more, we are a set of a’ priori modes trying to stabilise our line in an ocean of dissipating variables. We should define ourselves in this manner. We are a set of modes that allow for systematic alignment. A set synthesised with realities structures and stresses. Understanding this is the next step. Everything else is tied up in a field of inverted axioms and that path is a dead end. Human is not part of the way I think. I’m beyond it. I don’t know what I am only that I am not the body. I am a set of modes as I said and until I know more… It keeps going round in circles. One has to look through the phenomenological lens if they want beyond this primitive, half developed monkey head paradigm but who’s really ready for that path. If you want to understand the modes - CZcams - new paradigm fish by Yap. Stripping it right back. Alternatively- read my work for free on medium. New paradigm fish Yap.
