    How did this guy know so much about history? I know some things have been revised and he teetered on subjectivity at times, but he had such a phenomenal general knowledge that I don't know how I'd walk through the world in his shoes without thinking 95% of the people around me were ignorant peons.

      They were studying in a university. You imagine that they came up with all of this on their own out of thin air? People take "ancient' knowledge and suit it for their own times and contemporaries, where it is often mistaken for their own rare genius, long after they are dead. True, they spent a great deal more time than most reading, thinking, and reflecting. The average person is not steeped in reason but neck deep in BS, and that is exactly where they want to be. Plenty do right well by it, socially and economically and they don't want their s - - t stirred.

      Leahcim Olrac - Hegel had one grand system, he assigned one plot to history, and crammed everything into it, i.e., Plato did not see "subjective idea" - for Plato, the Ideals or Forms were objective - thus Aristotle would not have been able to "synthesise" Plato with Democritus' "objective matter". 1:12:31
      It's easy when you stick to your guns and everything is transformed into fodder for your philosophy. You see religious dogmatists of all kinds - Christian, Islamic, Jewish - doing that also, as well as dogmatic materialist scientism. Hegel had his model, others have theirs.
      Hegel replaced God with Reason. What moves things behind the scenes and what eventually pans out. It's almost tautological.
      How far does Hegel's model help us today to predict the future? To define our ideals? To produce better political systems?
      I don't know.
      He seems to have been a man of his times. His star is descending. He doesn't have many followers or people who check what he said in making decisions. Unlike, let's say, Jesus with his more simple and direct message, who has more followers than ever - over 2.5 billion, 1/3 of the world's population. Complexity is not the criterion, effective transmutation towards something better is. "By their fruits ye shall know them."
      I wonder what Hegel would have made of the history of Russia after his death. 1860 - serfs freed in a very Christian Russia under the Tsar. 1917 - Bolshevik Revolution, atheistic, materialistic, state control economy, repressive, thought and travel restrictions. 1991 - Soviet Union collapsed, free enterprise returns, freedom to travel, Christianity flourishes again... Russia probably would have evolved to something like today even without the Soviet hiccup.

      I think he probably knew that somewhere in his mind. I tend to agree with Wolfgang Eckhardt that much of Marx's prescriptions were reactions to critiques by anarchists of the time whom he agreed with on most major positions; especially those which would lend towards a decentralized planning

    • @derpfaddesweisen
      @derpfaddesweisen Před 10 měsíci

      Because Marx didn't believe in planned economies. A marxist society is by definition stateless. Marx was mainly a critic of capitalism, he didn't even like socialist "planned economy" ideas.

      Amazing to think that this spot is now a four lane highway, although just a couple of meters into the rainforest either side of the highway is just like this even today. I have walked in this rainforest many times and I probably feel a similar awe to what Conrad Martens felt on that day so long ago. It is a beautiful place. Conrad Martens might not be as famous as some other painters, but his poetic appreciation of the Australian bush at that time is quite wonderful. A great Australian artist with a great heart for pioneer life.

    I wonder if Jefferson was influenced by Fichte. Fichte's suggestions for mandatory education for all, encouraging moral uniformity and a none to subtle state control of the individual soul sounds an awful lot like the system implemented by that cowardly slave raping yuppy Thomas Jefferson. A system which tells you how to think and live, all the while insisting that you are free, and should be grateful for this freedom they have provided for you. If so, then Fichte's ideas have had a direct impact on my life, on my soul, on all of ours. You see, friends, when we study history, especially the history of ideas and how these ideas have influenced our lives and institutions, we are not studying something aloof and separate from ourselves. Every individual will, within the system, is a reflection, a microcosm of the whole. To study history and philosophy is to study one's self, literally. Interesting that Fichte should start as an anarchist and evolve into a sort of totalitarian. The young Will Durant once embraced an anarchist interpretation of history, though he claimed to have outgrown it later on.

      @11Kralle Před 6 lety

      Jefferson was influenced by Rousseau - as most people still are (not knowingly of course; it is far more important to have detailed knowledge about factual merchandise, brands and public figures called 'celebrities').
      To make 'Bildung'* mandatory is just a german notion of Fichtes time, a crude (yet oddly effective and thus sublime...) repulsion of the mandatory catechism, mandatory obediance to magistrates and the mandatory compulsion of every german prince to conscript his subjects for a career as cannon-fodder.

    • @stevebrule9343
      @stevebrule9343 Před 6 lety

      Roman Brown nah Jefferson just recognized that most people aren’t intelligent enough to be allowed to develop freely without an education ordered by better men. Without this system, they would degenerate the moral community they belong to without slowing down.
