>even if Magic were to be ranked as practical Metaphysic, according to Bacon's classification, it is certain that no other theoretical Metaphysic would stand in the right relation to it but mine, by which the world is resolved into Will and Representation.
My timeline is better.
The entirety of para 405 in Hegel‘s Philosophy of Spirit is about the reality of magic and how it works.
Das Vril must flow
>>25264225As far as I can see Vril is treated as masculine in German, not neuter, which makes sense
>>25264319why?
>>25264192>Though the sensitive individuality is undoubtedly a monadic individual, it is, because immediate, not yet as its self, not a true subject reflected into itself, and is therefore passive. Hence the individuality of its true self is a different subject from it – a subject which may even exist as another individual. By the self-hood of the latter it – a substance, which is only a non-independent predicate – is then set in vibration and controlled without the least resistance on its part. This other subject by which it is so controlled may be called its genius.idgi

>>25264499The Germans are such retards with that stuff though you never know. They think the moon is a dude and the sun is a chick.
>>25264452>a substance, which is only a non-independent predicate What was Hegel smoking? This is the opposite of a substance, cf. Kant:>Substance, that is, something that can exist as subject, but never as mere predicate
>>25264499>Vril is derived from VirileI mean, not really. you just made that up.
>>25264509weed. really really good weed. sativa.
>>25264509Of all the changes from first to second edition of the cpr, as an Aristotelian, this one stings the most. In 2e substance is just matter, in 1e it was closer to traditional substance. Then again tbf 2e is more consistent with his other views. Hegel’s understanding of substance was more nuanced and, I hate to admit this, nearer the mark than Kant’s, only because Hegel read the Greeks. Also with Hegel there’s the substance of the Logic and the substance of not-purely-Logical situations (this goes for everything in the Logic).
