In this forty-first 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-eight, ninety-ninth, hundredth, and hundred-and-first paragraphs of the text, beginning our study of the first portion of the section "Consciousness," i.e "Sense Certainty".
Hegel now turns to discuss the "Here," i.e. spatiality of sense-objects. It turns out again that mediation and negation are involved, and that the Here is a universal. Sense-certainty thus reveals that its essence is pure being, or abstraction.
It turns out that the object of sense is not what is essential, nor is it even the universal as such, but the universal as grasped by the "I", the knowing and sensing subject. We then have to look how the "I" functions in sense-certainty, and again a splitting or duality emerges -- there are multiple "I"s involved.
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.
