Aside from Aristotle during scholasticism, no one dominated philosophy as much as Hegel, even if it was for a shorter period. Even the analytical autism that is popular today is specifically a reaction to Hegel.

When the Great Books did their canon only four philosophers got their own volumes, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel.

Politically Hegel's influence outdoes any other thinkers, as the godfather of liberalism, communism, and fascism.

Popularity wise the existentialists do better with the general public, where Nietzsche is probably the most read philosopher after Plato, but in philosophy proper and world history Hegel is anything but a footnote.

i fucking hate hegel so god damn much. biggest fucking retard this planet has ever seen. his theories are complete bullshit and anyone who doesn't have academia-induced turbo autism can see that clear as day. if i could remove one person from history it would be hegel.

Hope this similar image suffices anon.

Liberal democracies: Thesis
Communism: Anti-thesis
Fascism: Synthesis

In Hegelian dialectic terms, how accurate is this? Also, who was the author who said that? I forgot but I'm pretty sure it was german.

Is Hegel's PoS a good read?

universality is immediate, but this means it is abstract and basic. a lot of people trip over this stuff because they think universality is somehow the goal or endpoint of Hegel's philosophy. totally the opposite. the universal is stupid. it is in the concrete particular, the mediated concept, that higher forms of knowledge emerge. the basic parts of reality are universals but they are empty, where as that which is being, or immediate to knowledge, is not the universal but particular. the anon above me is being a bit general about the whole thing, this gets more to the root of the sentence you are looking at.

The more I read and observe the world the more I think Hegel was right.

I've realized Hegel isn't an idealist but in fact he's a misunderstood realist.

>In philosophy truth is had when the conception corresponds to reality. A body is the reality, and soul is the conception. Soul and body should be adequate to each other. A dead man is still an existence, but no longer a true existence; it is a reality void of conception. For that reason the dead body decays. So with the true will; that which it wills, namely, its content, is identical with it, and so freedom wills freedom.
was he a retard or what??

Brainlet illiterate here.

Explain to me this /lit/ meme. Why is Hegel remotely responsible for communism, nazism and WW2?
