   The essay 'On some Hegelisms' doubtless needs an apology for the superficiality with which it treats a serious subject. It was written as a squib, to be read in a college-seminary in Hegel's logic, several of whose members, mature men, were devout champions of the dialectical method. My blows therefore were aimed almost entirely at that. I reprint the paper here (albeit with some misgivings), partly because I believe the dialectical method to be wholly abominable when worked by concepts alone, and partly because the essay casts some positive light on the pluralist-empiricist point of view.

   If you want to know do we have a free will, that's I don't agree with this, but that's the predominant opinion, you ask you ask cognitivist brain brain scientists. On the other hand, we had what I, with all the irony, call discourse post-modern historicist discourse analysis. Where ultimately they don't even approach this. They dismiss them as naive ontological questions. All amounts to uh to within which discourse a certain question moves. For example, if one were to ask Michel Foucault, do we have a free soul? His answer would have been, do you know that the question you're raising now is on…

   In the Phenomenology of Spirit , which presents Hegel’s epistemology or philosophy of knowledge, the “opposing sides” are different definitions of consciousness and of the object that consciousness is aware of or claims to know. As in Plato’s dialogues, a contradictory process between “opposing sides” in Hegel’s dialectics leads to a linear evolution or development from less sophisticated definitions or views to more sophisticated ones later. The dialectical process thus constitutes Hegel’s method for arguing against the earlier, less sophisticated definitions or views and for the more sophist…

   Uh and um likewise the printing press for obvious reasons is going to change the way things are going to be going on. So, it's not the case that Hegel claims that say, as he's often portrayed, I think wrongly as saying that the only thing that matters is whether people change their minds or the ideas that are going on in their head and so on. Uh the other thing is that Hegel is of course a firm opponent of all these kinds of traditional metaphysical dualisms. You might say there's materialism versus idealism and he would say, well, actually no. The correct form of idealism, as he says, is in f…

   Terry, and it's my first question to you, how do you stand to this? Many Hegelians today are what I ironically call not yet there Hegelians. They claim that Hegel had a certain idea of uh the best possible state, freedom, blah blah, but he put it in a wrong way, too idealist. First, we have, of course, Marx, or exemplarily the young Lukacs, he openly says in his history and class consciousness that absolute spirit should be replaced by proletariat proletariat revolutionary force as the first subject object of history. Then, just to jump ahead, we have of course we have Fukuyama. Hegel was just…

   As he puts the argument, then, the scepticism that ends up with the bare abstraction of nothingness or emptiness cannot get any further from there, but must wait to see whether something new comes along and what it is, in order to throw it too into the same empty abyss. (PhG-M §79) Hegel argues that, because Plato’s dialectics cannot get beyond arbitrariness and skepticism, it generates only approximate truths, and falls short of being a genuine science (SL-M 55–6; SL-dG 34–5; PR, Remark to §31; cf. EL Remark to §81). The following sections examine Hegel’s dialectics as well as these issues in…

   So clearly, when he says, "A new categorical imperative has been imposed by Hitler upon unfree mankind to arrange their thoughts and actions so that Auschwitz will not repeat itself. So that nothing similar will happen. Now, how then does the negative dialectic do that? How does the negative dialectic achieve that? How does it arrange thoughts and actions so that Auschwitz will not happen again? I think that the answer for Adorno is to philosophize. But to philosophize in a certain way that remains negative that Martin and Billy have presented to us in its negativity that resists the pull of t…

   _M._ As if it did not follow that whatever you speak of in that manner either is or is not. Are you not acquainted with the first principles of logic? For this is the first thing they lay down, Whatever is asserted (for that is the best way that occurs to me, at the moment, of rendering the Greek term [Greek: axiôma]; if I can think of a more accurate expression hereafter, I will use it), is asserted as being either true or false. When, therefore, you say, "Miserable M. Crassus," you either say this, "M. Crassus is miserable," so that some judgment may be made whether it is true or false, or y…

    In that sense, Adorno's inversion aversion of Hegel might be specific also given the other cases and case studies you have treated already in this 1313 series and it might be maybe the most complex, but it might be also the most radical because in Adorno you find an inversion and Umkehrung of Hegel that is keeping Hegel, but is still inverting him, standing him on his head. And this is extremely fascinating because it includes on the one hand a complete loyalty to almost all the topoi important in Hegelianism, but at the same time an ultra severe and serious rejection rejection of some of its …
