In this sixth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on the thirteenth and fourteenth paragraphs of the text, from the Preface. In these sections, Hegel continues discussing the "new world" that is appearing, and why at this point in time, science appears to be something esoteric and elite -- while in its unfolding essence, it reveals itself to necessarily aim at universal comprehension.
Hegel cautions that while, in its beginnings, science -- and the activities and culture which bear it -- seem vulnerable to criticism that it has not attained completeness, or perfection of its articulation, such criticism is off-base. He then begins to work out a "Gordian knot" in which scientific culture -- not yet adequately understanding its own activities -- becomes split into two sides, one side focused on acquiring and displaying content, the other on immediate rationality and intuition of the whole
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.
