The Phenomenology of Spirit

Based Hegel poster saving this bait thread.

atheists are even more contemptible than theists, which is quite the achievement, as they are equally as bereft of reason and consequently rely solely on faith-based judgements regarding the fundamental/necessary truth(s) of reality, but the atheist carries himself with the haughty hubris of a contrarian teenager tepidly lashing out against the authority of his parents—which he nevertheless unconsciously and wholly adheres to—by loudly complaining about his chores and cursing his parents as he does them.

that a not insignificant portion of the "civilized" and "educated" first world desire with such vehemence to be perceived as astute and reasonable, despite being either unable or unwilling to pierce the nigh translucent, most superficial veil shrouding truth—by reason of their ratiocinative faculty either mistaking the analogy for its real object or being simply too dull—would be side-splitting if it wasn't such a pervasive orientation; for i truly cannot think of any one situation more deliciously ironic than a nascent parodist who, understanding neither his own craft nor its object, becomes himself a parody

Most Fantasy/Sci-fi books are the male equivalent of Romance novels. Easy reading books where the reader imagines himself as the protagonist.

>Women are capable of education, but they are not made for activities which demand a universal faculty such as the more advanced sciences, philosophy, and certain forms of artistic production... women regulate their actions not by the demands of universality but by arbitrary inclinations and opinions. ~ Hegel
They can write but they will never comprehend the deeper meaning of the words they write.

I'm in Berlin the next two days, anybody here who's there and wants to meet up? I'm a physicist from Vienna.

>I am trying to start reading books(specifically Philosophy books) and my head hurts after just one hour of reading. Did anyone else felt something like this when you were getting into reading?
Yes. I also read that early on in my re-introduction to lit. I´ve felt the exact same way and hated the way he wrote. I do not know if it was the book itself or the fact that I had a whiteboard in my room on which I visualized the texts i read back then. Either way this book is still with me and I can still recall its content. And I´m glad I made it through. I remember how tiresome I thought it was but appreciate it today. This phenomena which is applieable to many books during my journey through the classics and canon, one which is not yet complete, is one of the many reasons one may proceed to a tough work later on as well. Looking back it wasn´t all that much hassle. And that is the realisation of progression. Which spurrs one further, all sparked by that initial slog read.

ITT pseuds hating on Hegel because they're too stupid to understand him

>or becoming if you will if you take Boehme, Hegel, etc.
Sounds like heresy. Was the Bible not good enough for you? You're going to rely on the atheistic Hegelian philosophy to explain Yahweh? What's next, Spinozism?

Amazing that Hegel lives so rent-free you bring him up in a Nietzsche thread, but I'm assuming you didn't read either author

Well, you are what you refute

1. the beginning of science is the immediate, undetermined Concept of being. -
2. this is in its lack of content so much as the nothing.

The nothing, as a thinking of that emptiness, is thus conversely itself a being and for the sake of its purity, the same thing as that -
3. there is therefore no difference between them, but what is, is hereby only the setting of their as differentiators and the disappearance of each in its opposite, or it is the becoming pure.

b. Existence

§ 17

But because in the process of becoming, those who have been set before only disappear, so is the becoming of their collapse into a calm simplicity, in which they are not nothing, but also no longer each for themselves, but as suspended or moments.

This unity is existence.

§ 18

Existence is
1. a being, in whose concept the non-existence of its as relationship with others or being for others; 2. but, after the moments of being, it has the side, not relationship to be different, but to be in itself.
As the concept that embraces these two provisions, it is the reality.

§ 19

The real or something is considered to be different from other real at first indifferent to the same, by being at the same time in its otherness in itself.

The difference of such is first of all in the border as the centre between them, in which they are as much as they are not.

§ 20

You are
1. different from the border or from their difference, which their The centre is outside which they are something.
. the border belongs to them themselves, because it is their border.

§ 21

The diversity is therefore
1. own diversity of the real or its determination.

But this determination in itself is also
2. external existence or condition.

The determination, which is both external and internal, makes the quality.

c. Change

§ 22

The nature or the external existence belongs both to the something on, than it is foreign to him or his otherness is hereby his non-being.

It is thus the inequality of himself with himself, whereby the change is set.

§ 23

In that change is the negation of the negative, which is the something on him, the forethought has come into being.

Or the determination, as the inner difference, which is the something to itself, is the relationship of the something in its difference only to itself, or it’s for itself.

This one.

The american tradition of this divide is just stupid, the best example for this is Hegel, who is at the same time both equally analytical and continental.

>neolibs flood western countries with replacement-level immigration for 30 years
>france goes from 95% euro to 80%
>same in other countries
>STOP TALKING ABOUT RACE!!!!!!!!!

>there are 60 off-topic threads on the board right now
>that's 40% of all threads
Evidently, being on-topic on /lit/ doesn't actually matter.
Post whatever you want.

Yes. Those who obtain the Gnosis can attain the Absolute.

Hegel's idealism understood as 'everything is an appearance of the idea' (which can be material objects or self-conscious beings and even the entire nature before humans) is completely compatible with realism which states that objects exist apart from and prior to consciousness. The development of humanity presupposes and only arises from the prior development of the organic powers of nature.
It is also compatible with naturalism (understood as everything happening according to laws (since, for Hegel, everything happens out of necessity)), but it is incompatible with naturalism which that claims everything is explicable only according to mechanical laws.
