In this forty-sixth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on paragraphs 114, 115, and 116 of the text, continuing our study of the second portion of the section "Consciousness," i.e "Perception: Or the Thing and Deception".
In these sections Hegel turns the focus on the properties of the Thing, i.e. the object of perception, unfolding the implications of their determinacy. These properties are determinate not only as "sensuous universals", but also by opposing themselves to the other properties, both within the Thing and in other Things.
This leads to more fully understanding what it is to be a Thing perceived -- it is not simply a medium in which the properties can coexist together, an Also, but rather a One, a unity that excludes its other. After having set out these developments, Hegel then turns to the relation between the perceiving subject and the object of perception. Truth here lies on the side of the object, and is conceived of as self-sameness or self-identity, and any difference from this on the side of the subject then becomes untruth, or deception.
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.
