Dude, are your books just antithetical refutations of important books that were banned, that can be discerned through translating them word for word as the opposite meaning said?
>>25468936No. This idea is completely baseless. Genuine refutation requires working through contradictions to lift their inner truth into a higher unity.It is never a simple mirror-trick.
>>25468919You're inferior to Kierkegaard.
>>25468978Not a question. Imagine retreating into the sickly isolation of a "beautiful soul" that shrinks from the actual, objective labor of the world, petrifying yourself within an unresolved subjective contradiction, mistaking the vanity of your own private anxiety for the absolute movement of the concept, lol.
>>25468919Opinions on the prevalence of casual sex in this day and age and those partaking in it
>>25469018To celebrate the casual gratification of a raw, animalistic impulse as a form of liberation is hollow sophistry. Such people merely surrender themselves to the absolute unfreedom of a blind biological drive, trapping their consciousness in the bad infinity of a repetitive, self-consuming hunger that degrades them to the level of beasts.
you only start with abstraction, instead one ought to begin his philosophy with the real of experience . To begin right away with the real rather than arrive at it in the end by diving through innumerable abstractions.
Who are you and what do you want from this miserable world?
Why did every philosopher during his day and every contemporary for decades after his death, despise Hegel so much? I just keep seeing seething hatred directed at him. Lot of people calling him "the devil" what gives? What did he do?
>>25469052Right now, I just want to be a scuba diver. The best I can be. Maybe someday make money doing it :^)
>>25469045Not a question either, anyway. Philosophy cannot begin with the concrete of experience, as any concrete contains a relation within itself and thus presupposes a prior mediation. While the concrete is temporally the first in reality, in speculative science it is the third. The final, comprehended result of the concept's self-development.>>25469052I want nothing of your fleeting passions, but demand that this thoughtless existence elevate itself to the absolute, self-knowing freedom of the Spirit. So that you may cease your mindless whimpering and comprehend that what is actual is rational.>>25469054I'm mostly hated because people are still incapable of grasping the negative as an immanent, necessary moment of the Absolute itself.
>>25469054They hated him because he told them the truth.
>>25469054He has the audacity to claim his system is true without constantly resorting to the subjunctive, using qualifying phrases, or making concessions regarding his own shortcomings and methodological errors.
>>25468919What if you ever wrote anything intelligent or of value?
>>25468919Why did German Idealism spawn every horror of the 20th century?
>>25470702To a mind completely submerged in the shallow empiricism of the common understanding, my writings must indeed appear as a mere empty vapor of words. Your inability to find any value in them is not a refutation of the Concept, but simply the vanity of your subjective opinion mistaking its own intellectual limits for the boundaries of truth itself.>>25470706That's not "German Idealisms" fault. It's the abstract understanding (Verstand) and the fanaticism of formal, subjective freedom that inevitably produce terror when forced upon the concrete world. When subjective consciousness attempts to overthrow existing reality in order to rebuild a state from unmediated, empty abstractions (wishing to start entirely from scratch and from thought alone) it can turn the idea of freedom into a catastrophe. Political fanaticism demands the absolute realization of an abstract idea. It destroys all particularity, resolving itself into a terror of suspicion where mere subjective conviction (Gesinnung) is scrutinized and punished by the state. It's the transition where subjectivity, asserting itself as absolute power, turns good into evil and evil into good, collapsing into total subversion.
Would you say that Schopenhauer ended up being a philosopher of some merit in the end?
>>25470738To elevate a blind, irrational Will to the status of the absolute is the ultimate regression of a mind incapable of speculative thought. It's the crude, unthinking Trieb of the animal. He ended up as supreme caricature of the unhappy consciousness.A fragile ego who mistook the bitter bile of his own personal insignificance for a cosmic law of suffering. His thought is nothing but the powerless sigh of a self-consuming soul, too weak to endure the actual, objective labor of the world.
>>25470762Hegel would never seethe like this. You are an unemployed ex grad student pretending to be him.
>>25468950So basically I'm right but your way of explaining it credits you with a little more nuance than that? Thanks!
>>25470766Sure about that? I just did.
>>25470787You haven't answered my question, and for some bizarre reason you're trying to claim my response to you as something you said. Care to explain yourself there Haiggle?
>>25470779You are not, for a simple reversal remains entirely dependent on the very dogmatism it opposes, merely standing the same error on its head. True refutation must enter directly into the inner strength of the opponent's system, allowing its own one-sided limits to collapse from within. The dialectical process of reducing those limits to preserved moments within a higher, absolute unity.
>>25470794Which question have I not answered?
>>25470795Every time you reject my understanding of your plaigiarized antithetical work all your explanations basically confirm what I said but with a bitter expression and an insulting demeanor. What's that about?
>>25470802You decided to be right but you are factually wrong. You mistake a mechanical reversal for speculative determinate negation. A simple inversion remains enslaved to the dogmatism it opposes, whereas dialectical sublation (aka Aufhebung) overcomes contradictions from within, preserving their truth as moments in a higher unity.
>>25469006O.K what do you think of Kierkegaard being a superior philosopher to you?
>>25468919Thoughts on Stone Cold Steve Austin?
>>25470847As I already stated in different words. To deem a philosophy of anxious, isolation superior to the objective development of the Concept is to glorify the unhappy consciousness in its unresolved contradictions, mistaking the powerless retreat of muh beautiful soul for the actual, self-knowing realization of the absolute Spirit
>>25470848Stone Cold Steve Austin represents raw, unmediated violence and the struggle for recognition, wherein the shattering of glass serves as the immediate negation of the corporate master, yet his beer-soaked defiance remains merely subjective. A hostile opposition that fails to sublate itself into a higher, rational realization.
who is the greatest poet of the 20th century? and are any poets philosophically sound?
Did rudolf steiner really complete german idealism by developing occult science?
>>25471005The greatest poet of the twentieth century is Paul Celan, with Rainer Maria Rilke as his vital dialectical counterpart.>>25471010A true completion of German Idealism can never reside in occult revelations or subjective intuitions, as speculative philosophy exists solely in the rigorous, conceptual mediation of the Spirit. Esotericism remains trapped in a state of cognitive tutelage under immediate representations, failing to thinkingly resolve the immanent contradictions of finite existence. Any retreat into the occult is a regressive flight from the labor of reason. While popular mysticism retreats into private feelings and obscure, fantastic representations, speculative philosophy elevates the concrete unity of opposite determinations into the clear, universal form. True metaphysics is the fluid diamond net of our pure thoughts, resolving all contradictions within the absolute unity of the self-unfolding Spirit.
To be clear- you're not REALLY Hegel, are you
>>25471242
>>25468919Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
>>25468919Asuka or Rei
>>25468919Gidday cunt, didn't know you ran tutorials, thought you only did FUCKEN lectures cunt. Dude, how does the relation relate to itself as a relation which relates to itself? Answer in relation to Man on Man breeding within Prussia. I don't mean HIV. I mean mPreg.
>>25471242Actually, contra >>25471231 we know Hegel dabbled in the occult and the Hermetic tradition. So, if there's one philosopher who I could imagine conjuring himself up from beyond the grave in a spooky way it's probably Hegel.
>>25472390This is starting to get scary...
>>25468919Thoughts on the slow extinction of the white race and the subsequent end of your pathetic project?
>>25472151This chaotic assemblage of words is a stellar monument to the absolute collapse of analytical understanding.>>25472381Both are merely symbolic representations of deficient, one-sided moments of an unresolved dualism. That being said. Asuka. >>25472382A simple mind just demonstrates how crude understanding can reduce the sublime speculative relation of Spirit, down to some vulgar, animalistic immediacy. >>25472502Speculative philosophy holds no interest in the contingent, accidents of skin color or lineage. Right and freedom are determined solely by universal Reason.Thus, the world-historical project of the self-unfolding Spirit is the realization of absolute freedom.A universal necessity that remains untouched by natural transience and category.>>25472390Fine. You have caught me. I maintain that analytical science must be exoteric and universally accessible, but you rightly exposed that my system is profoundly saturated with Hermeticism, Kabbalism and Alchemy. Not only in the Böhmean triads of my Logic, I drew deeply on the Western mystic counter-tradition. If any philosopher were to conjure himself from the grave, it would probably be the one who envisioned the magus actualizing the Absolute through the power of the creative word. Necromantic Hegelianism reigns.The dialectics are in motion.But as Abbot Trithemius famously cautioned Agrippa, "one must communicate vulgar secrets to vulgar friends, but higher and secret to higher, and secret friends only". Speculative truth in a way is inherently esoteric in the original sense of the word, it remains an impenetrable, secret to the rigid, common understanding even if it lays in black and white right in front of their eyes. Hidden in plain sight.
>>25470812>factually wronghegel never concerned himself with facts. get out of here, poseur.
>>25473010Bold claim.
>>25472390>>25472688Too much of a stretch. Hegel qualifies his interests in mysticism in both the Encyclopedia and lectures on the history of philosophy. You'd have to deal more with his complaint about the exotericism attributed to both Plato and Aristotle, "When philosophers discourse on philosophic subjects, they follow of necessity the course of their ideas; they cannot keep them in their pockets; and when one man speaks to another, if his words have any meaning at all, they must contain the idea present to him." Of the things he was cagey about, Heine spilled the beans: he didn't think there was a reward for virtuous behavior, either cosmically or in an afterlife, and he thought the stars were lesser in dignity than literal pondscum.
Did Hegel believe in personal immortality or Christ's resurrection?
