In this forty-second video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on paragraphs 102, 103, 104, and 105 of the text, continuing our study of the first portion of the section "Consciousness," i.e "Sense Certainty".
In these sections, Hegel now turns to the previously overlooked role and centrality of the perceiving "I" in sense certainty, focusing on the "I" itself as a universal. He also discusses the difficulties that arise when attempting to express linguistically single items as such.
It turns out that the essence of sense certainty cannot be found in the object or the "I" -- the essence of it lies in the totality of sense certainty, which then brings us into a new immediacy. We seem to be back at the moment and object of immediate sense perception. But we find again that singular -- whether on the side of object or on the side of the perceiver -- the this does not retain its truth or significance as sense certainty.
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.
