   A _system of thought_ must always have an architectonic connection or coherence, that is, a connection in which one part always supports the other, though the latter does not support the former, in which ultimately the foundation supports all the rest without being supported by it, and the apex is supported without supporting. On the other hand, a _single thought_, however comprehensive it may be, must preserve the most perfect unity. If it admits of being broken up into parts to facilitate its communication, the connection of these parts must yet be organic, _i.e._, it must be a connection in…

   Um do you take issue with uh Terry's uh position on idealism and and uh why have you been working on rediscovering or reimagining materialism? What I mean, I like to provoke people. That's why I also call myself often dialectical materialist, well knowing that what existed as dialectical materialism is one cannot put it in another way uh uh intellectual stupidity embodied, common sense. So, uh it will look back back it looks back dark for your plan to create a conflict here between the two of us. You will not because you know uh for me I'm not a materialist in this naive 19th century sense, ev…

   It would seem like if you're just slapping a label on things, you're actually preserving the thing separately from the concept. But no, he says it it sort of suggests not that preservation of the nonidentity of the object, but just it's what he calls it suppression or its occlusion, right? sort of hidden under the concept. Conversely, when we try to articulate what something essentially is, that would seem to be a collapsing of the difference between concept and object. And yet, it's just in that attempt to do so that the nonidentity of the object with its concept is expressed. is revealed mea…

   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…

   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…

   And so it's often much more important for people instead of figuring out what's actually the case to figure out what does my in-group believe so I will get tenure or that I will get a job or and right and this sometimes is a conflict with what's actually true because if for instance if you let scientific institutions get to a point where it's much more important that you have the right opinions about everything rather than to have the right criteria to rationally determine what's true independently of what other people think is true. then you cannot really do science anymore at some point. So …

   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…

   Such a contradiction cannot be brought under any unity without manipulation, without the insertion of some wretched cover concepts that will make the crucial differences vanish. All right. So it's a little bit opaque. Um so between the self-defin that an individual has and knows versus the role that the individual is playing. He says, "Nor is it possible to unify the contradiction that the exchange principle, remember I pointed out when it says barter, he means exchange." Just a bad translation of that word, which in present society enhances the productive forces. So the exchange principle um …

   Um from Kant, he accepts the claim that our cognitive apparatus is limited, that we do not fully grasp the thing in itself, the other things in the world external to thought. However, he reject rejects the strict separation between noumena and phenomena, maintaining that we can attain partial, fragmented knowledge of objects, even if they're never their totality. From Hegel, he takes dialectical thinking, the attention to contradiction as revealing something deeper about the object, but rejects the Hegelian resolution or reconciliation of contradiction into identity, where contradiction is see…

    This Absolute is the highest concept or form of universality for that subject matter. It is the thought or concept of the whole conceptual system for the relevant subject matter. We can picture the Absolute Idea (EL §236), for instance—which is the “Absolute” for logic—as an oval that is filled up with and surrounds numerous, embedded rings of smaller ovals and circles, which represent all of the earlier and less universal determinations from the logical development (cf. Maybee 2009: 30, 600): Figure 2 Since the “Absolute” concepts for each subject matter lead into one another, when they are t…
