Listen to Part 2 (the backroom) and other exclusive episodes on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/OneDime⁠ In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by Professor Sabah Alnasseri, a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at York University, to discuss Ibn Khaldun and his classic text, The Muqaddimah. In particular, we discuss Ibn Khaldun's similarities with Karl Marx as a social scientist and a proto-historical materialist. Sabbah and I share a Marxist interpretation of The Muqaddimah that demystifies Ibn Khaldun's materialist class analysis and misconceptions surrounding his key concepts such as "Royal Authority," "Asabiyyah," and more. Simultaneously a philosopher, historian, and often considered a father of modern economics as well as an early trailblazer of what would eventually become the discipline of sociology. Ibn Khaldun was among the first proper social scientists to develop a holistic "science of society" - something quite close to what we today call "historical materialism." Part 2 (the backroom) is on the applicaton of Ibn Khaldun's thought to the current state of contemporary imperialist powers (like the US, Israel) in the face of an emerging multipolar world with Russia, China, and BRICS playing a larger role in the face of declining US Hegemony.  Get Access to it and other exclusive backroom episodes on Patreon at Patreon.com/OneDime  Sabah Alnasseri's Interview with Chris Heges: https://youtu.be/q6qCHCffV-I?si=YD7Q0UE7dH5h_uqS Follow Sabah Alnasseri on Twitter:https://twitter.com/AlnasseriSabah My Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/1DimeOfficial⁠ Read more texts faster with Speechify: ⁠⁠https://speechify.com/?source=fb-for-mobile&via=1Dime

This podcast attempts to help us understand the philosophy of Hegel by demystifying Hegel's confusing Terminology in works such as The Phenomenology of Spirit and The Science of Logic. I ask Cadell to break down some of Hegel's key concepts, such as dialectics, spirit, negation, sublation, self-consciousness, absolute knowing, the evolution of human reason and the philosophy of history. We also discuss how Hegel's ideas are relevant to politics, religion, and the practice of learning how to think itself. 00:00 Introduction 01:41 Why Study Hegel? 06:44 Dialectics and Contradiction 14:51 The Evolution of Human Reason 18:55 Hegel's Concept of Spirit 53:03 Hegel's God 59:15 Christian Atheism 01:12:51 Zizek, Lacan and Hegel 01:33:39 Sublation 01:52:49 The Absolute and Absolute Knowing 01:58:41 Hegel vs Nietzche and Deleuze 02:09:46 Religion and Ideology Check out 1Dime's videos if you haven't already: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee/⁠⁠ Become a Patron at ⁠Patreon.com/OneDime⁠ to support the show Be sure to give 1Dime Radio a 5-star rating if you enjoyed!
