The best thing about the video is the way it was abruptly cut at the end, in finest Gen Z fashion. 😄 Thanks, doc, helpful.

[@antennawilde]

That's how he sucks you into watching the full clip😋

@@antennawilde why 'sucked in'? Nothing wrong with creating a shorter clip and not edit it so it doesn't feel 'abrupt'.. the videos are all free too!

It’s not hard to explain at all. It’s creating a problem for someone and giving them the solution to the problem you created. Deception.

[@weshoward1195]

I feel like you didn't watch the video

[@marccawood]

Indeed. Or word games where you use the same word in different senses to produce confusion and synthetic paradoxes which you resolve with your agenda.

[@JustAsh3s]

I’ve heard that people bond more over things they disagree on than things they have in common. This makes sense in the definition that if the belief is that identity originates from how we relate to things.. you have a stronger sense of identity from what you dislike than things you are amicable to… red and blue… black and white… dems and pubs

[@krbohn101]

Solid shortened explanation. The longer version is excellent. I wish I had a playback machine with your videos with me at all times, so I could play them for people (or myself) when needed. You do such a great job. I don't always fully agree with some of your opines, but you do an excellent job of debating your reasons.

There is a big difference between saying "it appeared to the religious Jews that are being indicted in Surah 4", and saying "later Roman and Greek writers repeated a false report that they heard" Surah 4:157 suggest the first statement, but not the second.

You cannot explain the Hegelian Dialectic simply, although I appreciate your admitted attempt to do so.

[@felixbergman-composer626]

The dialectic is a moment of the speculative logic of concepts. It is not so much a "process" or "formula" that can be applied, instead it's a moment in the self-realization of objective concepts. And this is a self-realization not, a combination of external concepts as Dr. Cooper said. It is an immanent critique. The concept must be analyzed on its own merit, and oftentimes this analysis will lead into a contradiction which locks the concept, a dialectical deadlock, the speculative aspect is when you realize this dialectical deadlock as its own concept, and in this realization the concept is objective in and for itself. The easiest and best way to grasp this is in the simplest form. The analysis of the most presuppositionless concept there is, namely Being. Thinking immediate Being without any visual or sensory representations will lead you to think Nothing, you cannot think immediate Being, nothing is there. But Nothing *Is*, which means Nothing is Being, and Being is Nothing. Here is the dialectical deadlock we are stuck in. The speculative step is realizing that this immediate vanishing of Being into Nothing into Being is Becoming, it's pure movement, turns out immediate Being and Nothing wasn't True, what was true was Becoming. But now, Becoming is... becoming what? Just pure Becoming makes no sense, since it must become something. So the immediate vanishing of Being into Nothing into Being etc has itself vanished, and the Becoming vanishes into Determined Being. We tried thinking immediate Being, could not do it, thinking Nothing which Is, this back and forth was recognized as movement, and the movement moved to an determined extistence. So you can see here how the concepts in syllogisms depend and organically grow out of each other, and Hegel continues this through his entire philosophy. Immanently critique the concept until it locks itself in contradiction and finally recognize what this lock is. These 3 moments, of Understanding (Try thinking the concept of immediate Being), of Dialectical (The concept ends up in a deadlock, immediate Being immediately leading into Nothing leading to Being etc), of Speculation (This duality is itself its own concept of Becoming).

"Thesis-antithesis-synthesis" is in Fichte. Imo applying it to Hegel tends to distort rather than help his ideas.

[@flibbernodgets7018]

but it's the thing that a lot of people know about him if they've only heard about him in passing, so it's almost inevitable that it would be mentioned whether it helps or not.

[@sweglord274]

The best example i can come up with is this. Freedom when it comes to drunk driving. Originally it was not illegal to drive drunk and people were outraged about people dying in car accidents due to drunk drivers. The concept of 'freedom' the idea relates to the freedom of you to drive after drinking but also the 'freedom' of others to not be killed by a drunk driver. Thus they made it legal to drive under the influence but imposed B.A.C limits (typically 0.8)

[@Impaled_Onion-thatsmine]

Listening to the rap song "Younkers" by Tyler the Creator (it is obsene, but he was 19) It showcase's Hegel's dialectics, just as most songs due, but it's flamboyant nature, makes it more clear.thanks to the flamboyant nature of the rhetoric. Plus it has double entendres to support both anti-thesis for the audience to use their own logic to create the conclusion. .

Problem: Hegel takes into the Zeitgeist notion only civilized humans ... merging their differing worldviews to grow the specie's logic, etc. He was from late 18th, early 19th C., just at the time 'democracy' was being (re)introduced and attempts to merge/integrate the hard-fought civility of Europe with the newly discovered 'New World' tribalist/commune-ist/uncivilized humans, first 'contacted' during 'the age of discovery' ... which has failed horribly under his notions of thesis/antithesis/synthesis moving the specie forwards and upwards ... it has moved us backwards and downwards.

[@Otaku155]

My criticism of Dialectic will always be that, in all cases, the synthesis is irrespective of objective reality. For example: Thesis: Gun Laws stop violence. Antithesis: No, they don't; and they violate my rights under the 2nd Amendment. Synthesis: Compromise and have 'common sense' gun laws. So...what happens when reality rears its ugly head and the laws, in fact, DO NOT STOP VIOLENCE??

So, the world will never be and was never meant to be in perfect harmony (ala coke commercial) because as people (or things) in this world continue to "relate" and mix with each other it tends brings up conflict that ultimately must get resolved one way or another over time. Ipso Ergo, we were not meant to have a heaven (or perfect world) on this earth....deal with it.

[@bunangst8415]

A very surface level analysis of the Hegelian Dialectic.

[@MrSeedi76]

Reminds me of my time at university when I took a class on Hegel's "Phänomenologie des Geistes" and since the prof had said in another, unrelated class, that we are supposed to have read a book at least 3 times before taking a class on it, I did my best and read the whole thing once 😂. Only to find out when the class started that we weren't actually talking about more than the introduction. The prof said to actually study the whole book, it would take more semesters than my whole course of study even encompassed 😊. I think it was about 12 semesters to cover the whole book (and I think at the time the only university who actually had a class about the whole book was in Berlin and I studied in Bamberg, Bavaria, where Hegel had actually lived for some time and worked at a local newspaper I think. We still have the "Hegel weeks" at the local university where they have lectures open to the public about him). And normal duration to get an MA was between 8 to 10 semesters.

[@ThinkingBiblically]

Dr. Cooper, I've watched your videos for about as long as you have been on KZbin. And I'd like to apologize for any unnecessary offense I may have given you over the years with my comments. I find your videos useful but theology tends to be, shall we say "high brow." I can understand what you are saying but doubt most Christians can. And I have been concerned at times because people can make the love theology their idol. I have a tendency to be harsh and impatient at times out of concern for God's children (and my flesh). Social media seems to bring out our worst. Imagine Luther on Twitter. Use the gifts God has given you to build up Christ's Church which is built mostly of common people.

[@drewpanyko5424]

Luther on Twitter? The mere notion of such a thing is as horrifying as it is hilarious!

[@gigenaia]

Perhaps I didn't understand your point correctly, but to me, it seems like you're pulling up a false dichotomy. It seems like you're saying "a more shallow explanation of Christian theology is more godly, while a "high brow" explanation always comes off as arrogant and high-horsey. " I don't understand why, to you, somebody's ministry should never be directed to "intellectuals", or people who devote themselves to theology also?
