I too am new to Hegel but I am currently reading Logic. In the Logic Hegel discusses something and other and how every something is an other in that, in being...
If you knew me you would wonder what I am doing here. I'v studied a little philosophy here and there over the course of more than thirty years starting in my...
In response to the post from Ms.Woody956 on Fri19Dec08 Greetings. In my quarter century of Hegel studies, I'll recommend approaches to Hegel that may be...
... approaches ... like those of Hobbes, Hume, Nietzsche or Kierkegaard, which you can simply pick up and begin reading. To read Hegel one requires a ...
Antonio, I don't know if I'm too late to be of use to your course-work, but if I am, here's my feedback, FWIW. Hegel's claim that "Self-consciousness exists...
Dear Wylie, In response to your requests: (1) This is where Marx suggested the PHENOMENOLOGY as the starting point for a study of Hegel: * Karl Marx's Economic...
I have what would seem to be a simple question=What was the meaning of the word phenomenology in Hegel's day? -That is before the 20th century meanngs of...
... Dear Bob, Kant made a sharp divide between the phenomenon--the thing as it appears to us--and the the thing as it is in itself. According to Kant we can...
John -if we agree that phenomenon is the appearance of things.Can we agree that phenomenology is synonemous with science as practiced in Hegel's day.Science as...
... Well, for instance in the logic Hegel starts with pure being. He then develops that into determinate being. So pure being is who knows what? (Not much of...
... That seems to be Kant's view of the matter (according, at least, to our friend Adorno). Kant accepted science just for the simple fact that it existed. So...
... Thank you John.Well,I wouldn't say that life is fairly long as far as Hegelian philosophy is concerned.Maybe he is "unfairly long", but thats why we love...
... Dear Jordan, I tried to read Zizek recently. I was surprised to hear that he was a Christian, which seems unusual for a Marxist. Why that is I don't really...
... Well,I don't know wich of his book you have read (he is very prolific philosopher) but one thing is sure- He keeps the highest academic level while in the...
... Hegel won't help you with that. His philosophy aims toward an absolute standpoint where all strains of thought, culture, art, and religion are fully...
Sharloo, . The meaning of Phenomenology before Husserl's definition and the postmodern definition was completely classical. It bore the Greek meaning of that...

Hi, John and Jordan: I would second John's suggestion. I have seen some of Zizek's presentations posted on Youtube and was thrilled by his clarity and...
Dear John There is something strange going on. I fully understood "sense-certainty" and "force and understanding" but I still got problem with "Perception" ....
In Kant the phenomena capture that essence, insofar as they are able to come under the organization provided by the categories. The thing in itself is a mere...
For the present I have had to suspend my Hegel studies, in fact, I did so shortly after joining this group in Dec. Hegel is demanding, as you all know, but so...
... And of course, he is not christian,he is atheist but he is defending christian legacy.Why? ... I listened to the first one and I enjoyed it. When I get the...
That's a sad story, man. I like the original recommendation. Hegel's Philosophy of History is a good place to start. Not only is it quite readable, but it also...
... That sounds bad. I've never heard of that book. But, of course, all of Anglo-American philosophy turned on Hegel at that time. But still I'm sorry to hear...
