I tried to read Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit one or two times, didn't get very far and didn't understand a lot, but still it was almost like a spiritual experience, my perception shifted and there was a clearer differentiation between the inside and outside world.

This is a fascinating report of your experience! I love it when people describe their lives experience of reading a particular philosopher. My own philosophical writing is heavily interested in this sort of phenomenon. You've given me even more reason to pull this book off my shelf. I'm very curious what I'm particular about Hegel's work triggered this state. Which by the way is a shift of consciousness many eastern spiritual traditions aim towards in the early stages.

@technoshaman101 I think maybe I haven't described it well enough. It is like the reading is self-referential in a sense and invites observing thoughts or mental formations. For example, I think he describes a thought or reasoning process with the image of a plant growing, bearing fruit and decomposing, which pointed to something happening within my mind. It is like the process of thinking could be observed with some distance to it.

Thanks for this! I put Hegel in the "maybe someday I'll get it" category years ago and this video has helped me break through a bit. Good analogies and examples too.

Non-fiction || Fiction is such a great example to think about dialectic of Reality || Appearance. This was a moving and clear lesson. Thank you so very much.

Thank you, sir. Nice job explaining the unexplainable. May I recommend Jon Fosse as the imperfect representative of a perfect fiction... as such. PS: One of the best expressions of Christianity I've heard. BRAVO!

[@SarahAshelford-o1u]

Very clear lecture, thanks 😊

It’s good to see an argument against the so-called ‘will of the people’ and how this leads to ‘short hegemonic positions, forever subject to change’

[@timothybrettgallant]

Thank you for this particularizing lecture

Thanks Julian!!

With regards to appearance as a constitutive aspect of reality, there may be an interesting evolutionary basis to this. Robert Trivers has argued that self-deception may have been selected because in deceiving yourself, you have a better chance of deceiving others.
