In this fortieth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on the ninety-fourth, ninety-fifth, ninety-sixth, and ninety-seventh paragraphs of the text, beginning our study of the first portion of the section "Consciousness," i.e "Sense Certainty".
The examination of what purports to be an immediate form of knowledge of things through sense-perception continues -- looking to see whether Sense Certainty is in truth how it purports itself to be (or as we purport it to be). Such an examination requires focusing on the raw "This", which can be distinguished along temporal and spatial lines into a "Now" and a "Here".
Both "Now" and "Here" in actual sense perception are made more specific -- the Now, e.g. as noon (or day) and as night. This reveals that in the apparently immediate, we already have mediation, and negation involved. The "This" is really a universal -- which is and is not the particulars. This allows us to utter or express the sensible particular which we are encountering in sensibility.
In this video series, I will be working through the entire Phenomenology, paragraph by paragraph -- for each one, first reading the paragraph, and then commenting on what Hegel is doing, referencing, discussing, etc. in that paragraph.
This series is designed to provide an innovative digital resource that will assist students, lifelong learners, professionals, and even other philosophers in studying this classic work by Hegel for generations to come.
