is his history book a solid look into Hegel?

I don’t know. If you ask /lit/ they will say no, but the book is widely acclaimed. I have read half of it and it’s just a really fantastic read because of how well he writes. It genuinely feels like you’re having a casual conversation with him

Yeah, his explanation of philosophy is for retards because it's retarded.

>> No.18183317

>>18183251
No, absolutely not. His characterization of hegel as violating muh law of non contradiction is moronic because Hegel isn't dealing with singular logical terms but with the interplay between a singular term and a universal, which is itself a singular term of an even greater universal, and so forth.

This, also Strauss' explanation can be understood by just about anyone as well, yet it itself is not retarded.

That's less a knock on Hegel than it is Russell just applying his own opinions, isn't it?

>> No.18183512

Yes, Russell's response to Hegel was quite literally just, "I got filtered ergo he's wrong lol". The only one who's ever been able to do that move right was nietzsche.

His books are filled with strawmans, ad home and misrepresentations of literally every single thinker in the canon of western thought yet it works because he was schizotypal.
