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!
