In this forty-seventh video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on paragraphs 117 and 118 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 explicitly unfolds the contradictions that emerge from the object when attending to the role of consciousness in perception. The object, the Thing is at the same time a unity, a One, and also the community of its properties, differentiated against each other. These properties also admit of contradiction within themselves, for they exist on their own, but are determinate only by their opposition to others. Each property in perception is a "sensuous universality."
In tracing out the dialectic of perception, consciousness becomes aware that the truth of the object - which is for consciousness - implies that any untruth lies on the side of the perceiving subject. but this allows it to get beyond and incorporate this untruth, to correct it within the scope of consciousness.
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.
